New CAI Arrived Today!

[MarcSpaz]

Man, I am stoked. So much in fact that I used the word "stoked". LOL

Thanks to my friend John (boss281) I now have a C&L Race CAI.

Thanks a million John! Good people right there... which reminds me. Please support his NA Shootout event in the fall. :coolup:

I have been running the C&L Street all this time. It flows about 1,000 CFM. The C&L Race flows about 1,070 CFM. The extra 7% flow (hopefully) will give me enough of an advantage that I may bump some more ET off my times. I won't speculate how much, but hopefully some.

The only thing I am concerned about is the fact that I am already running out of fuel on the top-end. I really need to get a boost-a-pump or some GT500 dual pumps. We'll see how it goes. I'll have the wideband on it while I do the dyno pulls.

I'll keep you guys up to date.

That's awesome, can't wait to see how it works out for you.

[MarcSpaz]

Thanks bro!

I got the intake installed just a few minutes ago. I wrote a new tune for it, but it is equal to a "safe" e-mail tune from one of the reputable vendors out there.

Next Saturday, Chris at Excessive Motorsport is going to let me use his dyno to dial it in. I am not expecting anything on the peak numbers, but I am hoping the TQ curve down in the lower RPM will get a little bump.

[boss281]

Marc, are your cams locked out or limited?

[MarcSpaz]

Mine are locked out. Per comp, they are too high a lift and duration to limit or there could be valve/piston impact.

[boss281]

Ah, you said "tune", and if you were using limiters I had some ideas on fattening up the torque curve. You have the 127600 cam then?

[MarcSpaz]

Yup. They are great cams up-top. I don't see any real solid/stable power until I am over 5k rpm's though.

Tip-in is at 300 ft-lb. and it stays there until about 3800 rpm. It climbs a little, maybe 25 ft-lb., then flatens out until 4700 rpm. Once it hits 4700-4800 it wakes up and jumps to about 365 ft-lb. and is strong until about 7k.

I think it is part of my problem with my 60' and 330' times.

Nice! I made pretty good gains from Steeda 90 to CL Race 95mm, Im sure you'll see more!

Keep us posted!

[MarcSpaz]

Well, I got to Excessive and had the car tuned on the dyno today. Man, I am shocked. Picked up 10 HP and 13 ft/lb. of tq damn near across the board. Very happy... now, time for the track.

[boss281]

Glad it worked for you Marc. It was just collected dust on my bench, waiting for me to get heads. Since that isn't going to occur until I blow the motor, I'm glad it went to good use. Track time is in order now!

[rygen]

Very cool, can't wait to see the results at the track.
