Pure BS.
How many years did it take to almost do away with plenum spacers?
Making more power could actually be leaning out the car eh?
I'd prefer to know about redirecting airflow properly to all the cylinders, that would be the reason for the EGT test.
I could car less about 5-10 horsepower I want the reduced knock capability touted by many, practically promised by RJ. Jr. that just didn't materialize on my cars.
Yeah I own them too....
Do the darn test.
Speaking of pure BS.....How convenient it is to bleat, "Do the test"!
The air flow distribution has been published.
EGT testing may, or may not be as reliable as flow testing for the reasons I stated above. The throttlebody, plenum, Plate, intake manifold, combustion chamber is a complex system. Adding combustion complicates an already complicated process.
The plate has been dynotested and proven to work. You are the guy that continually raves about the value of dynotesting, but, suddenly, it is not good enough for you? This thread, alone, is full of testimonials from guys who have actually proven its performance on the track as well as the dyno.
The belief that it would be proven to be a restrictor by measuring pressure above and below the plate has been disproven by three different sources in this thread alone.
It is ludicrous to compare it to the spacers that were once sold. How many testimonials did we see on the spacer outside of those given by the vendors? Go find me one.
Perhaps instead of whining that it did not work for you, you might spend some time examining your tuning techniques in place before you installed the plates that may affect performance.
As stated by many, the plate has been proven to measurably improve performance for the majority of purchasers. You can insult their perceived intelligence by ignoring measured performance if you wish. Just don't try to insinuate that the Plate does not work based upon your failures in spite of the favorable results achieve by the vast majority.
But, if you want a test, do a test. Just don't expect someone else to do it for you. It is too late for that. Sell your plates and move on. Someone else may benefit from them in spite of your lack of success.
