because of that we are not only having to address reliability issues and overcome them, but also recreate the engine's subsystems completely as well ad that has seriously impeded our schedule..

Sorry fellas, looks and sound aren't performance enhancements- especially if you compromise output, efficiency and longevity to gain them.

I've seen dozens of cars with every hack imaginable done to them, only to make 15-20 HP less than a bone stock car.

I have provided Pedro with some independent evaluations already and he has sent me some units to modify and compare those evaluations to.
Jake,

Now that its been revealed that the Techno Torque 2 does not provide any performance gains, in fact the results actually suggest that power was lost, do you have any suggestions on how to improve the oem plenum with another product? Or, should one simply put the original piece back on. Also, any thoughts on the IPD product ? At $ 1000 the price seems ridiculously high.
