Well if the site is back up & running, I'll post them for all to see

 

i can't wait to see what the haters say, but i for one think it looks great. good job! thanks for emailing the pics too.

Saskins have you removed the air inlets that the stock tubes connect to ?
These inlets are 1- 1 1/2 inches at the most. I took out the passinger side inlet and the actual opening is ruffly more than 3 inches. This has made a great diffrence in my system. Also the sound even from the stock ehaust has increased greatly, probaly due to the higher flow of cold air.

 

Here are a couple new Pics of Intakes

 

Say that looks great , can I get 1 and how much?Dan

 

I'm intrigued as to what filters you have on the end ??? Open cone K&N's by the look of things ?? Can you confrim if this is the case .....

 

It depends on which picture you are refuring to. In someof the pictures I have K&N's and in others I have a set of Apexi's for mock up. I can put any filter I want in there. I'm thinking of trying a set of Foam Mushroom style air filters. I have read a lot of interesting things about them. That and I want to see if there is any difference in performance.

 

Saskins, any idea of when you are planning of getting some 0-60 and 1/4 mile numbers with the new intakes? Maybe a dyno?

 

Say call me and we'll race to see actual differences.Call me !

 

I got a couple 0-60 times. I didn't have that much time to do it . I had a 10 min break and one of the parking lots was empty so I took advantage of it. It was kind of funny, a lot of the cast and crew were out there cheering me on.
These times were with a second passenger that was a little over 200 LBS. So I the numbers are a little curved because of the extra weight.
1. 6.8 ( a little shy)
2. 6.6
3. 6.6
4. 6.7
5. 6.4*
6. 6.5
7. 6.4*
8. 6.4*
I'm hoping to get it down to 6.2 or 6.0 when I don't have the added fun of 200 extra LBS.

Oh ya, and Dan. Babe you'll notice the difference. Its flies dude. It made me a little nervous a couple of times. But in a good way!

 

When are planning to put it into production?

It'll be my birthday soon, and I think I know what I want.

Can you just remind everyone of the differences of your XF to stock? These times seem awfully quick if you are not running a chipped ECU.

It would be nice to surprise an SRT-6 owner!!!

 

man this is crazy. what did you use to get these times, gtech? i don't trust those so much because it said my grand cherokee with the 4.7, 230 hp 295 tq, ran 60 in 5.8 and quarter in 14.2 with intake and exhaust. i was probably more around 6.5 and 14.7. but those 200 lbs. probably added about 2/1oths to your time, so eve it it was say more around 5.8-6.0, your still looking at 5.6-5.8. but wait, im getting ahead of myself. did you use the gtech? thanks........

also im curious to see what you think about that head swap topic i have, check it out and respond if you get a chance. thanks

 

Saskin: did you do a power break takeoff??

 

That was going to be my question: did you do any torque braking/power breaking before launching? Regardless, 5.5 (average) seconds with the Autostick is awesome!

 

This seems a little ridiculous to me. To go from 6.5+ 0-60 to 5.4 0-60 because of an intake is impossible, especially in a car like ours. Our intakes can't be that restrictive. Take it to a track and get your 1/4 mile. That's the only way to really tell.

 

Plus,
The STARTECH 3.8L S Crossfire is putting out 300hp and 291 ft/lbs of torque. It's 0-100 kph is 5.9 seconds. I'm not sure how you got your 0-60 times, but they are wrong.

 

I tried everything under the sun to get speed. I power breaked it, I started in 1st, 2nd. I had a better responce with starting in 2nd. I would love to try that G-Tech, that thing is really cool. Also were I was, was a low alttitude. When I came home last night I which is a much higher altitude, and I was getting 5.8, and 5.7 on avg. Also I'm not sure how accurate that is, because I was running the stop watch. When I was at work I had 2 people running stop watches. One with me in the car and out side the car.
I agree with you mightyjlr. I can't believe it either. I thought for sure there was something wrong. Or he was prematurely stopping it anticipaiting me hitting 60. So we decided to both yell out 60 when I hit it, so I knew were both on the same page. I'm going out to L.A.C.R. to run ther 1/4 mile as soon as I can. It's just hard to get away, with work and kids. But I will as soon as I can.

 

It's a naturally aspirated V6. I would expect to see around 6-8 WHP and 5-6 WTQ at the most with a real cold air intake. If it takes 115 HP to drop a little over a second and a half off of the SRT-6 sixty foot (vesus the standard Crossfire), then it would take rougly 70-80 horsepower to drop nearly a second off.

Even the SRT-4's with 100 Octane and their Stage 2 kits, can just barely hang with any automatic Z06.

 

You know its funny you bring up the SRT 4 because I got into a pissing contest with one the other night. I was at a street light, and he pulled up next to me. Now I had no intention of racing him, but before I knew it we were going at it. From the start I pulled away from him, he was probably 3/4 of a car length behind me. We only ran for about 1/4 mile or so. It gets even better though. He was running NOS. I had my window down, and could hear him hitting it the whole time. I was blown away by it. I never in a million years thought that little Ninja Turtle on steriods wouldn't beat the pants off of me. I had a grin from ear to ear. I wish I had my Camera at that moment, because I was like HOLY SH**. "No way that just happend"

But any way, I understand and I agree with what your saying. However we don't have any real stats on this cars performance at all. Its not like a 96 Camero were there is a boat load of information, and has a history behind it. This car kind of was born yesterday, so lets wait and see what she can do. But bottom line is all this is strange to me as well as to all of you. I really did not believe in my heart that this mod. would effect the cars performance this much. I think it is actually really cool, and kind of reminds me of a Power Stroker engine.
