Message	mentioned in the thread. They said they detected vibration, enough to be suppressed via holding it down by hand...that a lot of visible vibration. Wouldnt the flapping wings you mention, however minute, be visible to the naked eye? The fact that the plenum is held down by eight bolts through the lower plenum already, and can spread ~750 lbs of weight says something doesnt it? Stillen makes a plenum shock that takes advantage of the PS apron and a balance tube bolt from preventing the entire engine from forward movement...maybe time for me to buy one Testing this would be very simple...just unbolting the 4 upper bolts and running it back to back. I wish I had a dyno in my garage
