Dont et me wrong, I like kinetix products, but the SSV is over-priced POS if you're N/A.....I think i've only seen 1 N/A dyno, and that lost power w/ the SSV........almost every dyno is F/I'd....now granted 1 n/a dyno isn't anything to compare w/, but it's a lot better than trusting 10 but-dynos.

Hence why I said I've only seen *1* N/A dyno of it
how many MD spacer dynos; there's hudnreds of them floating out there.

what are you honest thoughts on it? I mean if there isnt a lot of dyno time with out, obviously theres going to be speculation out there, but maybe theres a reason most arent using it.

Yeah thats been my common assumption as well. I guess if you figure that spacers cost 300, then whats an extra 5 for an entire swap out of the plenum. I know on most other tuner cars swapping the IM makes some major gains. Then again most of these cars are using forced induction, where breathing is of utmost importance. On an NA, I guess it could be somewhat restrictive, if the mix is becoming too lean, but thats what fuel management is for. Some people must just have a hard one for Kinetix.

I have been thinking about getting one of these and doing dyno comparrisons between it and the crawford plenum... both tuned of course...
I do like the look of the SSV but look at the chamber... It is kinda puny...
