The openings at the radiator support are the same size on every Crossfire - N/A or SRT6

The way I looked at it when researching intakes - the AMG SL55 supercharged V8 engine is rated at 493 HP @ 6100 RPM at the crank when equipped from the factory with this intake.

If (and I say if) an SRT6 were able to make 400 HP at the wheels - conservatively that would be 472 HP at the crank, giving plenty of margin for further modifications.

Lol, you can not compare 2 different engines with the same intake. I am sure that a 3,000whp top fuel dragster with the sl55 intake on it would still make a hell of a lot of hp as well but that has nothing to do with a srt6.

The only way you can compare is to take a srt6 to the dragstrip, make a run with the sl55 intake then swap it for the cai and then make another run and compare the times as long as there was identical 60's etc.

I still say it a a restriction with the Y (you measured the long end, how wide is it?) and all the turbulance with the way the pipes are ribbed and so on. Glad you like yours, I would not run it though.

Start another thread if you want to argue about it so AMX's thread is not taken off topic.
