thank you for the encouragement, i know these have taken us over a year now but it will be worth it. our plan is to get us all into the 11's this fall and help build the srt6 reputation/resale back up to better then 40% of their original retail value just 3 years ago - am i asking too much?
Just get me into the darn 11's the heck with resale, I'm keeping this thing till the wheels fall off!

Rob, do us a favor and make sure that the bolts that hold the plenums on are long enough to accomodate the 6mm thick phenolic spacers (as opposed to the 3mm ones).

Can you get these powdercoated or annodized in different colors? What is a rough time estimate on installing these, about 30 minutes? It appears to be very simple to do.

These may already be complete, but I wanted to add my .02 from a Mercedes perspective. Please don't put any reference to SRT or Needswings on the top. Why limit your potential market unless you're going to offer different units to the Mercedes crowd? Mercedes owners want to see AMG on the engine, period. I would assume SRT owners would like it as well.

I would suggest AMG on the top, and Needswings down the side.

I personally think you should put "Not an intake manifold" on them just to set off mass confusion at car shows

I can't wait to get these! I lost by one car last night to a Camero SS with a 100 shot. They would have made the difference, especially since I already have Rob's tune. I would like mine to be gloss black with SRT-6 on top.

Can you post the before and after dyno graphs so we can compare the power bands to see how much you gain across the rpm range? That is much more important that peak power gains.

That's quite a bit of mph and et if your talking about 1/4 mile. Too hard to to use that as a gauge. Take a good driver and a bad driver and a fart could gain you an entire car length.

I'm sure an extra 35-40whp would have made it very interesting.

ill post them up once these new boxes get back from the internal portwork and teflon coating as i should be able to show the gains from the raw aluminum prototypes to the new style. i know i keep saying just a few days longer but im making sure these are perfect and pretty for you guys at the same time.
