My Ride: A Car faster than yours.....
Remember guys, our step fix was a temporary solution. As soon as the new version for your cars is out, we will send you all free replacements. As of right now, with the tape in place it is a confirmed 2whp gain.......on our dyno w/ the hood closed. Im still waiting for a manual 545 and 550 to come in so I can finish the new scoop? Come on guys, lets apply some peer pressure to them! haha.

Miguel! It's +2HP with the tape!
lol... so that means without the tape 0 WHP gains right? If the scoop gains at least 10 WHP I will buy it for sure!!!

Are free replacements going to be available if I purchased my RPI scoop through Trinity? I received it this week, but haven't installed. I was planning to install this weekend, but if a replacement is coming, maybe I'll just wait...

Can you confirm that the folks who ordered from the first batch (V8 list provided by me) from RPI will be included in this?
Thanks again!

Its a 7whp swing. If you make the scoop wrong, you WILL lose power (watch DIY people. hehe). The 2whp is on our Dyno Dynamics machine. On a Dynojet, the gains will be 5whp.
Everyone who has ordered prior to our dyno session will receive a free replacement. Trinity is an authorized dealer so those who bought from them will get the replacement as well.
