I picked up 18RWHP and 17RWTQ. It is constructed out of 1/8" ABS plastic. The only reason I'm posting this is I know John won't mind because I'm no longer out to make money on this deal..just trying to offer them to the public if wanted. I need all who are interested to please drop me an e-mail with all of your contact information. name,address, etc..
bbrannen@compcams.com

Thanks,
Brian

Brian email the pictures to jsnee@vortechsuperchargers.com and see if they want to get some. He works there and has a Z/28 with their kit.

The actual lid in those pictures is sitting in my garage.

I volunteered my '01 SS to do R&D for Brian last year. When he didn't get enough orders, he let me purchase the prototype lid. There were a couple local guys that wanted it, but as a thanks for my work on his behalf the lid went to me.

I did 8 dyno pulls to test the lid. Bottom line is that the stock lid (which I smoothed all of the ridges out of already) made a best of 446 RWHP. The Spectacle lid was then installed and made a best of 463 RWHP. This is on a stock internals 8K mile motor.

That's a significant EASY amount of power to gain there.

I'm at work and don't have the dyno sheets etc. in front of me, but I emailed all of them as a file to Brian. He was going to post my results on his website, but gave up on the project (at least for a while, sounds like he may be doing it now) due to lack of response.

Yeah I contacted you TWS a long time ago about it and then E-mailed Brian back then but never got a response so after a few months (at least 6months) I PM'd him again and that is when I started trying to getting other people interested so that I and everyone else interested could buy on if possible. The lid sound promising so I am excited to get one. I also have the dyno sheets if anyone needs them. If Got me some isn't available or something.
