Default Spoon Venturil Plate for B18C! Good or Bad??

I heard that the venturil plate is NOT as useful on B18C than on B16A, because of some reason that I can't recall. Can someone please verify this?

I want to get more mid-range power, but I have the Toda B and have rev limit set at 9200rpm now, will the V.plate significantly restrict power above 7500+rpm on a B18C?

So should I get the V.Plate for more mid-range or is there better way??

So basically it is pretty useless for B18C??
But when it say it is waste of money, does it mean it won't give any gain anywhere in the power band or will it give very little mid-range and loss a lot of top end??

According to the sole distributor of Spoon in HK, it will not benefit in a B18C, only in B16A, don't waste your money

is it because of the intake manifiold on the b18c1 that the rubber chicken is not as effective?

I have heard, this is all hersey, that even though it performs best with the B16a/B16b, if you use it on a stock B18C-R you will still make midrange power without losing top end. That is if you are not reving well over 8400 rpm. Anything over that and you will start to lose power. You will probably be okay with Type R cams, Spoon or Toda A's.

I have a Spoon ventuli plate, that has never been used, that is going into my project hybrid. Unfortunately I don't have the engine together (hence project) but it will be going into a B18C-R with Type R cams or at the most Spoon cams.

I wouldn't mind lending it to someone if they want to dyno it in a stock B18C-5 and a B16a. I would love to see the dyno graphs of the midrange increase on both engines.

I don't plan on spinning my engine over 9000rpm. I just want useable midrange power that is why I decided to get it and eventually try it out.
