Try using the macro setting on the camera if you do that.

OK... What are the gains? If it's that much I'll do it to mine.

Re: plenum port guide kinda?

I think the gains will be directly proportional to the horsepower potential of your motor.

Re: plenum port guide kinda?

from what ive heard it increases throttle respsonse and maybe a couple hp but im not positive since mine is still sitting in my room. but if youd like more pictures just ask i just ported the egr walls and a little around them and i did a tiny bit on the base nothing to make a difference i wouldnt think but it looked better to me.
