F/S NWP VIAS Block Plate 5.5 Gen

I'm selling my NWP Vias Block Plate from my I35. I had it on for two weeks. It's not for me. It comes with the plate, bolts, and the rubber black hose block thingy ;-). $30 shipped to lower 48 states. $25 for local pick up (Orange County, CA)

My concern before I bought it was how much it would take away before 4k, as I rarely go up that high. With my driving style, it doesn't benefit me. I read that it does for people that push their rpms that high and above. When I did push it that high, the gain wasn't worth it. I like my power down low. It was a significant loss for me having the plate in.

Now you have me worried....because I was cautious before I took the dive and bought it...for the same reason you were....I really didn't want the power loss to be noticeable on the low end.....but as I read through the threads about it....it seemed like the loss was not noticeable or very negligable and that the power gains up top far outweighed the power loss down low....hmmm...

To me it was very noticable! I just got back from doing a couple of runs with my stock vias installed. The car pulls much stronger now in the rpm range I use. Good thing it didn't cost much. Try it out once you get it, but if you're anything like me, you may be disappointed. :-(

another quick question....do you have a 6-speed or an AT....I ask this because in most of the threads I came across....people that had the AT didn't seem to notice too much of a loss...I think because of the torque converter...

I have an AT. Let me clarify my experience a little. For normal take off from a light or stop sign, I didn't notice a loss. On the street if I were cruising then went WOT, I noticed what was missing (low end and acceleration was slow). On the freeway if I were cruising at 65, then manually shift to 3rd and go WOT, I noticed the acceleration wasn't as strong. It definetly was missing the pull.
