Thanks and you guys can have the plenum is any color you want as long as it's silver.

Seriously though we have thought about this issue at great length and have decided to leave the aluminum casting in a natural finish, this way guys can paint the plenum any color they prefer.

Will these only be available through vendors or can we order them direct? Any idea on a ship date?

What are the performance/dyno numbers? It would be nice to compare the APS plenum to the other plenums and spacers already on the market.

I also am curious about this. I saw a thread here last night about someone putting a 3/8" spacer on his 2005 MT6 sedan and getting an average 1.5hp LOSS over the entire RPM band. The prevailing thought was that the new lower intake did not benefit from the extra volume in the plenum area. That the extra volume slowed the velocity of the air coming in to the runners. I would like to see some Dyno numbers on a 2005 6MT to see if this is true.

BTW, someone on that thread also said that since the two dyno runs were not done "back to back", but 2 months between them, that this could be the reason for the small difference in HP numbers. Another was that coolant temp was not measured and taken into consideration. The dyno numbers WERE corrected for temp, bar press, and humidity. (The only parameter that was different was the air temp, +5 deg. from the first run)

OK Peter , does the top appperance of thsi first Plenum offering represent the Plenum to be included in you "Big Fuel" system?

Will the extra injectors be mounted internal , below , etc to the Plenum?

When will you have a picture of the Big arrangment.

Thanx

Thanks, it's been a long time in product development (after testing 4 plenum designs) and I'm positive it's well worth the wait.

Simply put, lack of available production capacity.

APS production just can't catch up with global consumer demand for APS products, this we hope to resolve by building an additional new manufacturing facility in 06.
