Not many have them, but the gains are good. I plan on buying them.

And yes, you can still supercharge with them.

headers are proven to give u around 20-30whp, intake about 8whp
or you could get a dry shot nitrous kit for the same price about get anywhere from 50-60whp on a 75shot.

I think that the Power Plenums are a wonderful mod. You guys just have to remember that good NA power is reached by a combination of good parts working together, and not one working alone.

so how do we know what gains p2r products actually make. point is there is not a set number which we can all go by. even stock for stock cars can give slightly different readings at the same location, time, temperature, etc.

i'm sure plenums are great, but obviously a bit overpriced

Well I put my own car on the dyno and tested them out:




(broken rear motor mount)

Apexi Neo w/ boomslang harness was also used with only the vtec point changed.

What other mods do you have? and what were your numbers before the plenum?

If i can find it cheaper I'll probably get it.

i never dynoed it stock, i had an intake for my base dyno then i dynoed it with the headers.
TCM 01 CL-S- your dynos are with the p2r intake too. so your numbers are going to be lower with just the plenums.

Not true, this was several months before the P2R intake and P2R Tb Spacer. That was done on a different dyno at a different shop.

Numbers before the plenums were on the graph. Performance mods on base line dyno before plenums include: ct icebox, ur ultra s pulley, and comptech headers.
