C&L Plenum, C&L 80mm Mass Air - installation article

22 hp and 28 tq gained from MAF, CAI, and T/B and plenum?

 

[Imran]

I thought these things didn't help much. I mean 22 rwhp and 28 rwtq sounds pretty good to me

 

[Ryguy33]

^exactly. Something IS wrong with that

 

[Pittbull]

Honestly people have even lost power with bigger throttle body and plenums on N/A cars. It will serve up a bigger gain on FI applications. Not saying you shouldn't be building a foundation ahead of time though

 

[asiansensation78]

Let me know how you like your new throttle body and plenum though, I found a pretty good deal on those same parts new from a local shop, just holding off until I can get a review of the GMS products

yeah maybe SOME people occasionally. the shop i deal with (put the kenne bell on greg biffles gt500) said he has seen gains with the 75mm tb/plenum even on stockish cars (bolt on). he has been in the business a long time and built many many sick cars..

and op, def. doesn't sound right...not that much of a gain at all. they do help but nowhere near that much. just a few hp and tq IMO

 

[Pittbull]

You can make claims all day but until u get it on a dyno there's no way to kno

 

[Imran]

He did get on a dyno. He posted the graph, but still wtf?

 

[Pittbull]

Ooohhh! Idk man just go wit it ha

 

[jivepepper]

He already had nitrous etc. On a stock car it would have been 5hp

 

[asiansensation78]

lol can you post the dyno sheet? the car was probably performance tuned after the initial dyno... it'd be hard to believe a n/a mustang would pick up that much whp from just those components

 

[asiansensation78]

o wait I just checked out the link. the car was definitely performance tuned after the parts were installed, possibly for 93 octane as well.

 

[Pittbull]

The tune is where u really see the gains. So I wouldn't doubt those numbers, seems pretty legit

 

[mrbigjeep]

yeah my car gained 35rwhp with cams and intake/tb/plenum

so i'm guessing only about 7-10 for the intake stuff...that was tuned on 93 as well

 

[Pittbull]

I still hate u for havin cams I'm so jealous mannn.
That's a real nice gain, wats ur car put out on the dyno Biggie?

 

[mrbigjeep]

275

already have longtubes bought (but not installed)...tubular k for christmas and then both will be installed a couple months after christmas. should be somewhere in the 290's. then its enough with all this stuff and a 75-100 shot will be going on. need/want at least low 12's and a 114+ trap lol. will probably be picking up a cheap nitrous kit this week actually...but won't go on till after the longtubes/k member

oh and i bought bandity's udp's lol so that will complete pretty much all the bolt ons

 

[Pittbull]

Frickinn nicee dood.
Wats a K Memeber?? Haha newb question
