Default A good problem to have...

Ok, as some of you know and some of you don't I've had my car in working on my final tuning some. I went to pick it up today because my tuner wants me to drive it for the weekend and feel the changes out. When I got there, they were having some problems getting the A/F where he wants it. Basically, the intake i'm running (BBK) isn't flowing to my motors potential. He said look into C&L so I'm looking to pick up a used one, but what does everyone else thing would be the biggest/most free flowing intake?

This is kind of an unusual problem to have, but I'm not complaining

Cliffnotes : Intakes to small
Need a bigger one

Techco 100mm intake.

Saleens have had 3 different variations of CAI improved upon them about every year and this one is designed to trump 3 generations of CAI development specifically for forced induction applications.

C&L is only 95mm FYI and probably doesn't have as good of a design and it's cheap. This one is great quality.

Price is a big deal, honestly, but Saleen is running the same kit as me just not as much head/cam wise so I might go that route. Thanks for the heads up guys. Been a while since I've shopped for an intake

I've been out of the intake game for a while, Saddle I'd love to have some 18's for the dyno, buttt give me some stats on it, if I'm going to buy another I want it to be all that I'll ever need this time.

And BTW Legion, I'm not F/I

This will sound stupid, but I won't go straight for 2 reasons 1) cost (intake and new radiator cover) 2) I hate the look, and it looks to ls'ish

Right now I'm sitting in the 380's on a Mustang dyno, it will be going on a dynojet across town once I get this worked out to compare numbers! Judging by others, if I can hit 390 on the Mustang Dyno with this intake I'll be around 425+ on a dynojet. Thanks for the suggestions thought keep them coming guys!

Might I suggest you do a little research on JLT before you make your decision....I am a true believer.

As for giving you 18's.....help a girl out. How would I know what to charge? And I would never want to cheat you!

Your wheels are waiting....

OR......get me some fanblades......dark ones......OR....get me a 2.5 inch cowl hood......I am willing to be a trader

it does look rather stupid, i didnt know if it was bigger and/or would benefit you. i will have to throw my vote to STEEDA. little pricey but its not much more than the c&l right.
this intake might work for you
