I asked Rob of Needswings if he would be going to the private Midwest Drags with all the other SRT-6's on the 12th.
I figured it would be a great opportunity for him to bring an extra intake and allow others to compare the NW with whatever setup they are running for a few runs. Members have said it's an easy install so I figured it could be done between runs without much trouble. It could end up being great info for all of us because it would eliminate the "Different dynos - different cars - different days" senerio. Plus we could see how his car - with all his mods - ran against the others on the same track / same day.....
As for heat soak caused by the airboxes - I installed an IAT gauge and Hi temps are more of a problem when at a stop and no air flow around the HE. Once moving - air temps are actually pretty low - until you boost - and this is with the car at full temp.
Here is a test for you - run your car to full temp - hot has you can - open the hood - pull one of the intake tubes, feel the air filter with your finger - there ain't no better test.
Here is a pick of my IAT's @ 100MPH and boosting.
