there is a article in the newest hot rod magazine, and on a dyno pull they took out the air silenser and got no power gain from a chasis dyno. I still took mine out and i like it so whatever. (it was on a bullitt mustang just in case any one wanted to know.)

Ive heard differently, My friend told me he read somewhere that when the air silencer was removed on a 2001 GT it gained 5-7 horsepwer, dyno tested.</P>

I should be getting my Streetsmart Design CAI next week! WooHoo! <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>


There were a lot of posts about removing air silencers. In some cooler cities/states it may not be too harmful but I want to share my pessimism with people that live in hot climates.</P>


I was reading up on the Kenne Bell Superchargers. I came across this bit of information from Kenne Bell:</P>


--------</P>


However, when coupled to an "idiot underhood filter" that sucks in 200° air (the equivalent to another 20 psi boost), the heat may be a problem for any supercharger - centrifugal, Roots or Twin Screw. We've said it before . . avoid exposed underhood filters in supercharged and non supercharged engines - unless you think that your engine likes all that hot air.</P>


--------</P>


Granted, they are talking about heat causing problems for the supercharger but it is still bad for a N/A engine. Heat in the intake air is your enemy. Every modern auto (that I know of)pulls air from outside the engine compartment for good reason. At highway speeds open air boxes may not be too bad because of all the air circulating in the engine compartment. But at low speed, or while sitting still, it's probably very bad.</P>

They dyno'd that bullitt mustang on hot rod tv and it made like 240 hp with a bunch of mods including a centrifugal supercharger, i think hot rod is full of s**t
