Hello,


For those of you with C&L CAI and Tune from brenspeed. I have this question:

Im feeling the real power just after the 3000RPMs not before and also my feeling is that between 1000-2500RPMs i feel the car slower than before, does anybody over there have the same feeling ?



Thanks

I'm sure you coul call Brenspeed and talk with them and they'll help you.

Yes i called them.

They said is normal that only at 3000RPM i will feel the real power. Thats why im asking if everybody here is feeling the same thing, that only at 3000RPMs you feel the real power.

you installed a CAI, not a supercharger. You probably gained between 25-30 HP, or roughly 10%over what you were stock (assuming 265 RWHP stock). If you look at the pre/post dyno results on most of the CAI manufacturer websites, you'll see that the greatestgain in HP is usually measuredabove 4000 rpm's. So if you routinely drive around at less than 4000 rpm, you are not going to feel a tremendous difference.

I disagree....he should feel a pretty big kick from the install IMO....at all RPMs

not denying that because of the tune/tweaking the stock torque management program it should/will feel punchier, just pointing out that the gains that are advertised are usually measured at higher rpm's. If he isn't up in that rpm band routinely, that could be why he isn't "feeling it". I think that's why Brenspeed told him it's normal.

Yea, from the chart you posted, not a huge difference down low. But that makes sense. Most HP is recognized up high.

i agree that he should feel the torq down low....i sure as hell did with my brenspeed tune

I have the C&L Racer with 93 Octance from Brenspeed. The big power Kick is from 3,000 and up, the lower is more powerful than stock, but you really feel it above 3K

From my experience the big difference at low RPM comes from the removal of throttle lag, and the added HP really comes alive >~3000. So overall there's a difference across the board, but due to different factors.

With Brenspeed sometimes you can really feel the jump around 3000 rpm, like a little turbo kicking in. I didn't feel that with the other tuners.
