Advice.
If you change the intake before the MAF or at it DO NOT WOT. Your AFR will be off. Also I would not recommend installing the IC and driving around w.o a re-tune. If your already spending the money might as well wait and spend the $300 more for it. I don't want to tell you what my AFR was at when I switched up parts w.o hitting boost on my drive for my retune. The intercooler will restrict air flow. Its a give/take. This will lean out your AFR and produce more boost (i think) Now that your boosted you have to be more care full. Bobby tunes our car's really rich. You don't want to mod it with anything that will make it run more rich. When I went from the 3in Perrin intake to stock airbox + changed the header/FP it actually made my car run really really really rich. Also the ECU was pulling/giving timing which made for an unenjoyable drive...
I can't wait for someone to release a 3in intake that actually has a MAF air straighteners. (I put it past jason at nameless)
*update for my car*
Next upgrades (all at once install for next winter project decided)
If my SB is in good running condition I will be selling it.
1. Purchasing Crawford SB w/10:1 compression Or if Cosworth releases their block I might change my mind.
2. Nameless Full 3in Intake
3. Nameless EL Header
4. Nameless 3in OP/DP Combo
(already have a gnarly 3in to dual 2in nameless proto catback to mate to these awesome new additions)
5. 69mm Pulley
6. AEM Meth injection
7. Innovate IC Upgrade kit
8. Re-tune @ PRE racing
Hoping to make more then 280WHP and have a reliable engine for track use. 2015 shall be fun! Until then i'll live with the 240 WHP stock engine.
at that point my car will be 100% complete.
Undecided if I want to upgrade pump/injectors. If I do i'll be getting a flexfuel kit and running E85 and switch to ECUtek with a Driftoffice tune. Unless i can talk Bobby into continuing his tune on my car. If I do this then it will be balls to wall shooting for 320+WHP
*it sucks my car had so many issues. Because I was so deep in labor fixing the damn thing buying/selling/swapping parts that I could of already had Injectors/Pump/Intercooler atm.........
