Has anyone tested both plenum and see which one is more consistent with speed and also which would produce the most power? I heard Michals plenum is about 60cc, is fx power plenum also 60cc? Michals plenum still use old valve system with rubber ball as backing. Which fx new power plenum replace the whole valve and rod system. I kinda like how fx rounded both ends on their plenum where as Michals it just look flat cut on both ends. Other than that they seem to be same sizes to me.
Michal plenum or fx power plenum?

The space is only only so big so I would imagine they are the same size.

As far as i know the fx one is 53 and michals is 70. I got 75fpe in .25 at 100 bar yesterday using michals.
He says its almost 70cc, his email is [email protected]

The one from Poland wins by a mile. None of the other changes FX made improve anything. Your second pic is Glem.Chally's gun.

Probly e-mail him but be patient he is a busy man making all of these plenums for us. I waited for two months for mine. Michał Osyda [email protected]

By looking at the size I would guesstimate that the volume is near the same in both. FX comes as a complete kit to get the most form your gun from low to high power. Michal's is the plenum only so you do the other werq. Not a problem for many of us. I lowered my reg to 125bar after the Michal plenum install and also turned the hammer spring Allen back out two or three turns and am still shooting the NSA .25 36.5gr at 930fps so about 70fpe with lights out accuracy. Have not counted shots but there are definitely more. There is more power available when I need it. So, when I get my .30cal probe from FX, I have been impatiently waiting for over two months for, I can turn up the juice a bit more if needed.

I know you guys have Michals plenum but what makes you think his wins by a mile? Both fx power plenum and Michals looks to be the same diameter. So I believe both are close to 60-65cc. Michals plenum only replace the black plenum tube as fx power plenum replace the whole valve and rod system. I don't have the either plenum but if fx were to replace the whole valve, spring, rod, hammer, etc. Wouldn't they tested and know that was the better way to go than just replacing the black plenum tube with a larger one? Cause from I can tell Michals plenum only replace the black plenum tube with a larger one and still use old valve housing, tube, rod, spring, hammer. Why didn't fx just replace the plenum tube with a larger one if that wins by a miles?

Read above lol, fx one is 53 michals is 70ish. You have less power adjustment with the new valve adjuster i believe. I like the valve adjuster how it is, i can adjust speed from 300s to 1100 with the turn of a dial.
Can the mk2 with a power plenum kit get 75fpe at 100 bar in .25?

Just curious, does anyone know what is the current cost of the michal Plenum? Wondering what shipping charges are as well?

Both versions were copied from my design posted here in April of 2019.
Have you seen a gun with the FX version making 132 fpe yet.. or even close ?

That makes no sense.
If you are suggesting that the FX version is safer for the gun because of it's lower volume then you simply don't understand the parts or the gun.
