I have used AEM in the past with great results. I noticed that as far as CAI it is not really mentioned here. Anyone have any experience with them on a VT?

16 HP @ 5700 RPM ??

someone else look at their dyno sheet???

stock 141whp and 142lbs torque isnt really impressive

Did not know they made one. Did not know.

I think the gain is what needs to be looked at. Base hp and torque are subject to many variables. Temp, elevation, dyno, etc.

That doesn't even look like the correct torque curve for our cars to me :/

i searched by vehicle a couple weeks ago and could not find one that was defined for the VT.

I did also, tried again today and it was there. I may just get one, I'm sure it has to be better than stock.

nice! ironically, its design is very similar to my new version of my intake coming out very soon... % gain is all that matters not the numbers.. numbers are subjective to the dyno type, calibration,etc.

New version? Not the one on your website correct? I'm itching for a mod, how soon is soon?

[serioussam]

well.... but with a base dyno that low it help a lot to get a great gain like after that...

lol thats extremely similar to my design as well lol

So they did eventually find someone. I saw their craigslists ad a while back looking for a VT.

its a third gear pull not under full boost or load thats why the hp is different

 

[|]are |]evil]

Boost drops in 3rd gear?

yes, my new design will have a bit smoother bends and be 3" diameter piping.

Kinda pulling this from the other thread I asked about this on as far as the noise level goes.. Something I just came across, a cone filter inside a velocity stack.. Granted all the ones I see are typically designed for motorcycles, what about a larger one of the VT? possible to cheaply buy/fabricate this and throw it on a dyno for shits and giggles?

That's actually very cool. would help it from getting wet when mounted like how turbososcks is doing it. but they have said where the filter is its still pretty guarded.

-.- i just placed my order last week lol.

how will these changes affect the overall performance/sound?

 

[Turbosocks]

sound will probably not be affected at all.. performance will not noticeably be affected. It will be more of a visual upgrade than anything, albeit it is going to cost more.

Once it is done, I will be selling one intake system that will work as a CAI, SRI and a FMIC CAI.

How am i ever going to get a tentative mod list if all these goodies keep popping up....! :crazy:
