Yup that's what we did on mine. Tapped the back of the plenum and re-routed to the next to the brake fluid reservoir.

You can see where we tapped it in in this pic, see the blue Earl's fitting sticking out the back of the plenum. Did the same thing to my APS plenum.

Dont care much about saving gas, if I am passing someone then my foots on the gas either way.

How exactly does it put more stress on the engine? Low RPM passing vs Higher RPM passing. Engine Load due to gearing?

I rather have most of the load go on the engine then have my tranny shift like nuts. I have good oil in my car so let it do its job. UOA's come out great so my engine is not really stressing.

OCG35 or butkiss are the two NA Sedans with the most bolt ons. I believe they both dyno'd in the neighborhood of 294-298 on a dynapack (@ Churches in SoCal)

I've been on two different dynojets (one of them twice)... based on the gains I've had on the dynapack I'm pretty sure I'd be around 275 on the dynojets I've been on.

All dynos are different though... and with dynojets there are so many variables it's not even worth it to judge a cars performance ability based on the number.

The only thing I ever do is see how my car compares to others on the same dyno that day (it always does well again other VQDE)

Why do our cars have such a large loss from crank to wheels?

^That would be about 20% loss. (298x0.8=238.4)
That does seem a bit high for a 6MT... but then again it really depends on the dyno and conditions.
