hp# for these mod's part 2?

Was thinking about hanging on to my stock blower for awhile after my built motor phase. So I thought why not add some gadgets to it. Does anyone have any hp gain numbers that these things add anything except a whole in the pocket?
(*Cough*.. plasma booster)

REM power tube??
ported intake plenum?

thanx

port your own intake plenum you'll probably do a better job. the extrude honed plenums i've seen pics of still have the big lumps on the insides where the bolts go through, when I ported mine I grinded them down smooth. I still havent seen many plasma booster dyno's, the smooth intake looks like a good idea, but it's kinda pricey for what it is, but it does dress up the engine bay nicely.

Actually, I don't think power tubes adds any HP.And I heard ported plenums do not either. In person ive seen a dyno with and without a plasma booster and someone posted here with no gains. Maybe a better spark, seems like a pricey toy to me.

I was hoping someone have seen hp improvements with these bolt ons. Only thing i heard was any good is the spacers fixing to come out.

Nate,

Those two mods show the most gain when used in conjunction with added boost.


Rocks
