How's the install for a set of cams? That is one thing I've never installed before.

 

I made a 12.7 pass with that same set-up you have listed with 1.8 60fts.

 

Unless the manufacturer of the intake is going to reprogram your ECU as well, or you find a program specifically for your intake from someone else you might want to stay away from aftermarket intakes. Your goal should be obtainable with a stock intake, then you retain ease of use, and no funny business with MAF readings.

 

I bet a good driver with a short shift kit and clutch upgrade could make a 12.99 sec pass with these mods alone...

 

Yeah, I've had my own issues with the whole intake thing. The first intake I tried was the K&N Typhoon- and that was a monstrosity. Found a ton of people on here with the same problem- so I returned it and now have the PErrin shortram. It feels very strong. I dont' know how it will compare to the stock intake- without having a flash done to the ECU with the intake mod being considered.

I guess we'll see after I go to the track.

 

does intake really give you much gain? realistically n/a cars average 1-2whp spending like 300 dollars on a CAI or short ram or what not, where they could have spent 60 dollars on a drop in filter like k&n , but for the f/i cars , does it make a big difference? average 5 more whp???

 

from what I've read the intake won't do a whole lot over our stock intakes. The stock intake really isnt' that bad. Some are worse than others but if I could do it over again I'd just put a dropin filter in.

But I guess once I get the TT flash- they will consider the intake mod and adjust the fuel settings to accomodate it.

 

AEM-ecu/ 3.5 bar map & iat sensor/Hallman mbc 23lbs psi/3" turboback/272 cams/custom intake plumbing with HKS mega flow/Tial dv/fuel pump/94 oct pump gas/DNP header & O2 housing = 12.3 - 1/4, 1.7 - 60' (note: stock clutch was slipping at the time), 'guess better et's will be achieved next time on this new set up: Fidanza f/wheel + ACT stage 1

 

If one wants to break into the 12s inexpensively and with consistency, all that's needed is a competent reflash, 3" turboback exhaust, mbc, and good driving skills.

 

As usual I concur with Ted B.

3" exhaust, MBC, AFC or reflash and you should be solidly into the 12's @ 105-108mph

I went 12.3 @ 108 with the above mods and the injen pipes...but Im sure It would have gone just as fast without the intake parts.

 

Wow, 12.3 is very impressive without cams even! What psi were you running?

 

have gone 11.9 @ 114 and hit 115.5 without cams still. just exhaust, AEM EMS, intake, clutch, mbc,fuel pump

on pumpgas I run around 20-21psi on racegas I crank the boost to all the stock turbo will make...25 dropping to 23

 

amazing numbers. stock clutch? How were your launches? Fairly aggressive?
