NWP Engineering VIAS/SSIM Block Plates are back in stock!
This is strictly a block plate kit for those that want to remove their VIAS (Variable Induction Air Control System). That will hurt low end power, but since you are removing an obstruction, it will help top end. You will gain approximately 5hp on midrange and top end power.
The other use for this block plate and considered the best option as far as performance is known as the SSIM (Secret Sauce Intake Manifold). That name was created years ago by a member of the Maxima discussion forums. This involves cutting the shelf out of the main chamber of the upper intake manifold and removing the VIAS assembly. This will still lose low end power and some midrange, but the gains in the top end are very noticeable. It's definitely a modification that is worthwhile if you are serious about increasing top end HP. An engine tune and extended rev limiter is recommended if you want to get the full potential out of the SSIM.

We are not expecting to have any deals anytime soon. Right now, they are pretty tough to keep in stock. Both the Premium and Basic VIAS Block Plate Kits.
The loss in low end is very very small. I'd say over 9 out of 10 can not notice the loss in low end, but they can easily notice the gain in top end HP above 5K rpm.
If you want better low end and midrange HP, your best bet is to install the NWP Engineering Thermal Intake Spacers.
Thank you for your business. Please let me know if you have any questions.
I definitely noticed a change in the upper RPM range.
I'll be ordering the spacers very soon. Thanks again Aaron.

Recieved and installed the Block Plate today. I must say this has been my best experience in ordering anything online. Thank you for the quick shipping, great customer service and product, and excellent, detailed instructions.
I definitely noticed a change in the upper RPM range.
I'll be ordering the spacers very soon. Thanks again Aaron.

If there is anything else I can do, please do not hesitate to ask. And you will not be disappointed with the Spacers.
Thanks again, you'll be hearing from me shortly.
