This RENNtech air box has gone through over 5 revisions and has been a product in development for over a year now. Why so long? simply because RENNtech does not make any performance products just for aesthetics. Trust me when I say, I've been waiting for over 7 months for this airbax to be released.

Considering that you actually get a gain of roughly 10-15hp, I personally think that its a bargain at the extra $1000 you would pay over the carbino.
Well said.

And the best part is that people dont understand that a used box is likely an older generation. The 63 and the 600 and 65 boxes are always being upgraded to better designs with better flow. I know a new box is coming for the 600 and 65 to get another 10-15 hp. The box Jon has for sale is the current 63 design and makes real power.

1k extra for 10-15 hp on a NA motor? Thats hardly bad. Just more angry people spouting out false data about RENNtech parts. Its a normal thing for MB world. Thanks for clearing that up!
