kids these days

seeing THIS at a car show is impressive:

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.

Absolutely, its a bling mod at that. With FI, Im sure its excellent. All that free flow, though I would like to see an interior cut out of it to see how its ported.

^^I agree 2Fast! Plus it does make power when FI'd. On pump (91 OCT AZ crap) it made 519.9 HP/516.1 TQ and on 109 Unleaded it made 571.9/603.9. These are from the first dyno session and at over 100 degrees in Phoenix and running nice and fat! (oh yeah, I almost forgot that these runs were done in 5th gear!)

One car has the ability to pull the front tires right off the ground at WOT

One's probably lucky to make 100tq at 1500RPM

I wonder which is which ^_^

If ANYONE can point to a link to a dyno that shows positive gains on the SSV on a NA machine (even 5 hp), please post it. I never saw a single one.

I have read 3-4 posts about problems on NA machines. I have read many posts about benefits with FI.

That about sum this up?

The problems with NA (IMO) stem from unequal flow to the rear cylinders vs. the front cylinders which are relatively starved for air flow. Without boost, the back cylinders are going to suck down much more air than the front cylinders because it arrives there first. In other words, the distance from throttle body to each cylinder bank is very different. Just my 2 cents...

Can you give a link to those threads?? I just don't see how you can come to that conclusion when your stock plenum is like a circle. Add a MD spacer and you are just increasing the height of your plenum so how does that distribute so much better? The only thing I can think is that it just allows more air in but I don't see how it distributes it much better. The SSV has individual cylinder cut outs which you would think would distribute the air much more evenly and give each cylinder a good flow of air unlike a stock plenum that is just a circle. I have a MD spacer on my car now and I have a ssv on the way but I have been thinking about having the shop that is putting all my parts on do a dyno test of both. I would be shocked if the MD 5/16 spacer or the SSV plenum adds more then 3 to 5hp. $800 Bucks for 3 to 5hp is a terrible bargain but when you pop the hood it makes the piece priceless

I have a dyno sheet of an SSV on a N/A G35 and like I htought it is a sweet setup. So the rumored power loss and it's only good for FI is a bunch of crap. I don't think a lot of people have the plenum so their isn't much info on it.

^^ that's from the kinetix website.... of course they wouldn't post a dyno that shows loss in power.

the Injen CAI intake is suppose to add up to +15 hp too, and they show a dyno to "prove" it

Any dyno graphs of NA motors not from a vendor?
