Well, we finally got the car to the dyno to try out the CAI, and the results are better then what we expected.

First, our cars are plagued with the Fuel cut at 5K rpm on the dyno, so just be aware that these numbers are for a 5K peak.

Our base run done many months ago, netted us a best HP of 174 @ 5,000 rpm. Using a 18% Drive train loss, this equates to about 212 hp at the crank@ 5,000 rpm.

Today we gained 8 HP @ 5,000 rpm to bring us to 180. 18% drive train loss = 220 hp @ 5,000 rpm.

My dyno guy, looking at the curves, calculated the peak HP to be about 198 HP. Stock cars put about 176 HP down.

I will post the graphs for everyone to look at on my website.

Basically the CAI is making more power as the revs climb. Our peak torque was 194 @ 5,000 rpm, and stock it was around 180 @ 5,000 rpm.

With 5,000 rpm Peak

+8 HP
+14 ft/lbs torque

This is definately a well needed mod!!!

 

Next is a catless exhaust, then headers.

After that do some pullies.

 

Have I missed something - where are the curves, doesn't mean much otherwise.

How do you negate the engine heat on the Aluminum intake pipe?

 

We offer the intake kit in a Jet Hot Coating if you are worried about the heat. This will be suggested for our SRT6 when it is released.

However, this pipe has never become as hot as the stock air box, and that alone is a noticeable improvement. I would imagine it's due to the intake not laying directly on the engine. Even after hours of driving, racing, dyno time, the pipe is still not hot to the touch.

 

OK so now we have a CAI kit, what's next?

 

Flux capacitor!!!
Somebody on here already has one - they posted a pic the other week.

 

lol that was me in the PT loser "Where were going we dont need roads" lol.

 

Unfortunately our lawyers informed us that the Flux Capacitor would be too costly to insure so we decided to pass on that idea.

We will have our modified thermostats available next week, and hopefully can begin work on the exhuast during the winter.

 

on the exhaust side do you have two cats or 4 cats like stock?

 

We have two cats on the exhaust. You can choose to keep stock or upgrade to race cats.
