ok just got it and I have 2 immediate observations

1: all the bolts are different lengths with 3 being cut and 1 not cut. 2 are so short I can barely grab 1 thread to start so I had to undo and squeeze together with a wrench just to get the clamp started....very suprising to have to do this
2 should there not be a clamp on the hose to the nub conection??

Oops te instructions didn't get put in :-/ all the clamps have markings no marking to the intake tube 2 markings is on the other side of the coupler 3 is on the furthest away from the coupler 4 is at the box. Sorry for it going incomplete

Also the T in the clamps I put then on the bottom on mine so it's not as perdominate

lol I wouldn't cancel just yet. It only takes about 20min to install.

I've removed the one I have on right so many times, that I have it down to a science, and takes me about 5 min.

I continue to be intersted in this, but it anybody, anybody at all going to dyno before and after? I'm sure it's a well made part and I'd love to supprort a fellow member, but it's a good deal of money for as yet unproven gain.

I've been waiting till it warmed up to have a run with mine. I do plan on going back out to the track with it this weekend when I am in Florida.

Hi Mike, by any chance you have any updates on the Spacers? I'm holding off still till I could get a conformation on its reliability for your S type. Take care bro and let me know if want to arrange a meet up in Kentucky. Once a year me and boys go up there for hunting and what not in Madisonville. Are you near there?

God Bless!

As far as the Dyno's I posted what I gained with mine, although the numbers as far as how much you realistically gain will be across the board. All of our R's have varying miles, and are in various conditions. I showed a 15+ whp gain but at the same time, I have gone above and beyond to make sure the car is in tip top shape for the most part.

I know I have a damaged cat. but as far as the motor tune up wise. I promise you I went overboard.

Plugs
COPS
O2 sensors
MAP
MAF which also includes AIT1
knock
AIT2
Fresh oils in the diff, massive tranny fluid change, coolant flush, p/s flush and fill,brake fluid, Blower oil.
Coolant sensors.
New belt
ABS sensors
Wheel bearings (front and rear)
Calipers
Rotors pads
Sway dog bones.
All filters
and Im at 55K miles.

Didn't really need to do it all but since I work for the parent company of NAPA I figured why not.

On my list are the fuel pumps.
and more then likely injectors.
