Matco , its a 240.00 wrench(new) I bought from some used tool store for 85.00...works real good but Im not exactly torquing stuff all day . The only reason I bought it is because I wanted to get the job done right and not accidently strip one of those collector threads. I should probably go sell it back to him

Craftsman also here. A high end torque wrench feels like a craftsman. The cheap ones are the ones that have a hard click but they also don't go low enough in inch lbs.

Right on!

I am happy to hear it is working out so well for everyone. Now I just wish I had a REVUP engine so I could know what all you guys are talking about!

04 sedan 6mt + 1/2" plenum spacer = (or similiar) Mrev kit for 298hp engines?
if so, me

With all the cash you'll be making, I don't see why you couldn't pick up an 05 6MT

This statement would go right over the head of about 98% of the buying public. Plus saying the car has nearly 300hp is a rather big deal for a mass produced V6.

IM sure R & D isn't cheap. Maybe when you get your next 20 projects produced you would be able to get a new car.

You raise an excellent point. There actually are some sponsors and "Z" developers out there who actually do own "Gs" and "Zs" and use them as test mules.

somewheer in this thread there is a dyno graph from crawford where tested essentially the same package. It should work fine, but I think the motordyne spacer makes more power. I'm pating to see the new SPortZ magazine article. No one has said anything yet, but I have a feeling that the motordyne spacer may have taken the crown in the spacer/plenum shootout!

Damn it.....when does my SportZ get here!!!!

Hopefully soon - I was told that they were intending on them being put in the mail on December 1st. If that is in fact what happened then we should all be seeing them soon.

I am so ready to pick one up...It'll have to wait till February-ish as it is winter time up here and managing the HPs i have now in the snow is my biggest concern. Glad to see the positive reviews.
