Its a improvement through out almost the whole rev range. I think its making like 5.5 lbs by less than 3000 and peaks around 7. I wouldn't pay for one new but if you can get one used then go for it. I *think* that any kit will work as long as the throttle body elbow is the full 180 degrees.

you wouldn't buy one new? why? is the power gain not worth the money? Just curious. I too want some feedback on the DASC kit. I am very interested in it.

I didn't think they were available new any more...

lol - my fear is that by the time I can afford one - they will be near impossible to source.

It's been idle for six years.

Stevie30 is that chrome paint? very clean by the way.. :D

Actually it is Dupli-Color silver wheel paint. I also used it on my 325ic valve cover about two years ago and it holds up beautifully.

holy cow-
that sparco bar looks close as hell.

[Hey-U]

It is verrry close, about one washer away. It actually schaffed the first cover before I shimmed it.

lol. I recently picked up a sparco bar and intend to 'clearance' it..
Seems like washers would really sacrifice available threads from strut mounts.
How much clearance/space would you say is needed from bar to intake to compensate for engine movement?

It bascially just needed the smallest amount of clearance added. As I say I think I only put one washer under the bar on each strut and it seemed to do the trick. When I first did it I thought for sure the engine movement would schafe the manifold. The available threads on the struts were minimal, hense trying to get away with as little clearance as possible.
