i know what ya mean hobby man, but i just assumed he made a mistake and meant to say intake temp dropped 25%, but i guess that should be addressed.

I think he meant just what he said, after all AMG adds a supercharger to get 115HP and this guy thinks he got 100 with two air filters and some tubing painted with "SPECIAL NASA UFO PAINT". I guess I just can't wait until he gets his dyno numbers and wait "THE BEST YET" he's waiting for the info from the US patent office!!!!!!!! I guess Mercedes and AMG missed the boat again. Don't you just wish those stupid German engineers had a clue????

Excuse me Mr. Hobbyman,
When did I ever say I got a 100+HP there smart guy. Why are you talking ****? You have no clue as to what I have done. Next time read all the posts before you make your comments genius.

Well partner you're the one out there wippen his weight in vettes. I figure you need at least 100hp to do that, (unless of course you raced a guy that wasn't trying in which case you beat a guy in a c6 not the c6). Anyone with a modicum of sense in flow dynamics knows everything you describe is BS and is not supported by anything but hypebole. If anything you've said so far is true, post the dyno numbers and I'll sing your praises to any and all. I don't think I have anything to worry about. By the way, pro stock naturally aspirated engines get approx 2% increase thru their low pressure hood scoops(outside lower air temp low pressure at the base of the windshield). That translates to 4hp from your xfire. Try beatin a vette with it. Ps just because you own a car and can drive it doesn't mean you know anything about making a pump more efficient.

Oh its all good,
I'm appart of this forum to help, and to recieve help from others if needed. If he wants to bring negativity, so be it. I'm not going to play games, of slinging mud at each other. It's silly and not needed in our community.
Racing at Willow!!! YEEEEHAAA....

Yah dont let him bother you saskins. They gave me the same crap about me beating the STi. He missed a gear what do you want me to do LOL :lol: Oh i will be putting my Crossfire on the dyno to get some base runs. I think this will be the 1st crossfire dyno Never seen what one puts to the wheels. I'm guessing somewhere in the 180's.

Thanks bullseye. Hardly anyone can bother me. There are Two people who can bother me. One my dad, he can get under my skin like no one else, and the other... My wife! I don't need to say anything else.
Let me know what your car Dyno's at. I'm real interested to see what it charts at. Hey nice job with the STi. You know it's funny people would rather try to put down the fact that you can beat a car that in all case scenario should kick your ***. Instead of being stoked for you. All I can say everyone has good days and bad days.
