What are you thankful for this season? Me? 418hp and 513lb/ft torque!

You should try the new MDesign intake...

Nothing against MDesign's intake, I think it is super sweet looking and will do a GREAT job controlling intake temperatures (which I think was the way it made 15 more hp, lower intake temp=more timing... No data logging to know), but I don't think that it is the intake for me.  The reason for that is; the filters. I know NOTHING about flow ceiling of the filter itself.  I have talked with MDesign requesting flow data on the filter, but all I get is... "its flows great, made 15 hp more than an airraid so it will not be a restriction".  I personally don't think that the MDesign will EVER flow more than a Airraid as the "filter" in an airraid flows 1300 cfm (enough to easily support 600 crank hp) and the MDesign housing is so small it will never hold a big enough filter to flow those kind of numbers (especially once dirty).  No one can tell me what the actual flow numbers on the filter are so untill someone has one and makes more power than I have with it or I actually see flow numbers, I'm probably staying with this stupid stock box or an airraid with a lid.

Sorry for the rant, but I haven't bought an intake because none of them seem to do what I want them to.  I want a filter that keeps the engine heat out of the intake air (unlike an airraid) and have a large filter media that will out flow my turbo's (maybe unlike the MDesign...can't get data). This girl isn't done at 418hp.... shes getting ATP's(not this spring like I was planning) and I need a intake with them in mind.

Again no disrespect to the MDesign intake, just need real controlled and logged testing showing its capability.

You sort of touched on one of my concerns with its small size. I wonder how fast it will dirty also, being that the air(and whatever else)directly enters and hits the filter immediately.

Still the best aftermarket CAI for us yet.

Fair enough..
I will continue to update as I break it in..
Enjoy your ride..

Speedo videos please

All fixed.... Shitty work done by me was the root cause to my miss fires at low rpm.  Found that the plug gaps as follows:

.037
.036
.032
.031
.032
.032

When I put these in, I used a feeler gauge thinking that it would be a more accurate way to measure the gap....apparently I got better at it after the first two. lol

This time I used a tried and true plug gap gauge, and they are 0.028".

Pulls nice and smooth now no funny business.

Awesome   On to more PBs

If I run the torque app will they tell me the flow data your looking for??

Unfortunately no. The flow capability can really only be measured on a flow bench, or on a Max hp engine measuring the presence of pressure (negative pressure) post filter per turbo / throttle body and knowing the hp that engine produces.

At 418 whp my car consumes about 730 cfm of air. 500whp will require around 920 cfm. Just to give ya an idea of the figures I'm talking about.

Alright 91hybrid,  race season is upon us. How's everything looking?

[91hybrid]

TERRIBLE!!! My local track is in a major legal battle with potential city ownership and right to vote. Basically I'm not sure it will even open this year at this point.

Cars running well though. 👍🏼

[Stuntz]

Oh that sucks!  I hope you are able to get to a track. I want to see you in the 11s.

[91hybrid]

Yeah. Me too. 👍🏼😂

[PokerMunkee]

No kidding, need more SHO's in the 11's!!

Did Torrie do a remote tune while on the dyno?  Or have all his changes been done from data logging on the street?

[91hybrid]

Data logging only. I just put her on the dnyo to see what she'd put down.

[Gray Brick]

Did the plug gap clear up the ignition issues?
