I got a set from a buddy to test with. but if I were to go back to delete plates I would definately use the ones I made I would actually encourage anybody out there who wants them to make them themselves and spend the $150 on something else. I think my problem was the combo of them and the cams that hurt the low end so bad.
in fact I think i might just throw them on tonight and see how they feel with the stock cams. I am getting good at this stuff too....I can do a cam swap in 2 1/2 hours and a cmdp install in 40 minutes flat.

I am not totally surprised. The mod never really made much sense to me unless someone has forced induction.

As far as the charge motion plates go. Porsche, BMW, Audi, etc, all have similar systems that work with the variable valve timing to flatten out the power band. No one is ripping those out of their cars.

alright got the delete plates back on. we will see what tommorow brings. it seems just as great down low after a quick run around the block though. i will put it through the paces on the way to work and report back in the morning.

new record is 24 minutes. yep i definately have it down. a cordless drill with a 1/4 inch socket driver helps big time though...

so the car feels great still. no huge bog like with the cams and deletes. I thikn it was that particular combo that killed me.

I have almost the same mods as you, same intake same headers, except I put on the jba catted h-pipe because the off road-h with my slp loudmouths was a little trumpety. I'd definitely recommend under drive pulleys. I have the saleen udp's you'll free up power all thru the rpm range with this mod.
