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.

 

Sure you can! The SL55 V8 is very similar (bore and stroke, engine RPM, S/C PSI, etc...) to the 3.2L V6 with just 2 more cylinders.

It's not like trying to compare our V6 to a top fuel dragster? - Lol

you mean like that ,, form fit. jim

 

Good work Jim. I found that I like it better with it off. I see you had to notch for the two front screws. Other reason for leaving it off. Your car looks VERY nice.

Lol, they are 2 different engines, one is a V8 and one is a V6. They make different hp and torque numbers stock and you can not compare the 2 like that. It is apples to oranges. You would need to test the V8 with the stock intake and with a cai and then you would see if there was a gain or not.

You can not say 2 engines are the same just because they are from the same company and are the same displacement if one is a 6cyl and one is a 8cyl or if one makes more power than the other or if one is designed differently than the other lol.

 

and the cover holds in more heat as well, another reason not to keep it on.

 

I had- have Code 3 pully, tune, stock intake,,, 12.40,, R. has 181 pully,, same tune as i ,,and CAI,12.50 I think ,, we run the almost the same times,,, now i add the SL55 intake .. I also removed the plastic restricted boxes in the radiator support, the ends of the tubes from the SL55 were heated with a heat gun ( could use torch or hair dryer) and forced into the hole next to the radiator then a wet rag was forced into hot end of the tube ,,it is now the same configuration as the hole in the radiator support ((fits like a glove)) jim

 

[quote=SRT6 Gang Member]You will LOVE the intake and the grilles look good (although you can't see them ). your right you can't see them, so here is a better shot also the stock ones are just black plastic painted looks better to me any way,

wow what is that on my bumper,,, it just rained this morning, I going to clean it right now,sorry for such a messed up pic jim
PS thanks everyone for your commits jim

 

I kinda like it off also but wanted to fit it any way. jim

 

There we go, nice ! I also leave my engine cover off; I like to see the SC .

 

[quote=amx1397]Those lower grilles look so much better, I need to paint mine to match my upper grille. Do they just pop off with clips?

 

see the hole next to the point of each one ,,you put a small screwdriver or the tool that comes with the car into that hole twards the point and release the clip,, then it slides out,

 

Thanks, I will paint mine this weekend
