Guys, we haven't had anyone contact us about these problems yet...I really encourage those that do have a problem with an HSW product to do so here so that we run through the troubleshooting process and can address any problems your having. Thanks!

Since we're on the topic I'll throw this out there...

I have the 78mm HSW Plate. I love it, awesome kit. The only question I have is: What are the bolts that hold the plate on supposed to be torqued to? I didn't really crank mine down because I broke a stock bolt in the past tightening it too much.

I have the HSW 78mm plate kit and it fit great. Just had to bend the nitrous solenoid bracket a little bit to clear the throttle cable bracket. Excellent kit overall.

Tighten the top bolt first to 44 in/lbs, then the two bottoms. On the second pass hit the top bolt first and torque to 89 in/lbs, then the bottom two. This is what HSW told me to do.

No, why would it be. Never thought denial and outward arrogance were such powerful business skills. The amount of professionalism and integrity one operates with is directly proportionate to the level of respect one receives. Is your inbox empty???? ******* should be.

All of the plates from HSW I have seen and heard of work great, regardless of the implications from those that feel threatened. Just compare their 360° Perimeter Spray pattern (see video below) to some of the competitors and you'll surely see which is the better design, no better distribution out there, bar none, let the end user make their choice. The factory style OEM Gaskets HSW uses offer sealing superior to other kits on the market that use paper gaskets, again let the end user make their choice. Value and quality are a hard combo to come by in this industry, again let the end user make the choice. There are now 5-different companies that make a Wet Plate and only one with enough Innovative capability to go against the norm and build a DRY Plate, let the end user make their conclusions. Some of the engineering on certain style plates are less than exceptional, knowledge is power.
