Hey all,
Injen claims a 17/16 hp/tq gain (dyno proven it adds) to the wheels of a SS/SC with their CAI installed (the new "tuned" intake).

Has anyone tested this claim? I am about to put the intake on my car and I'm hoping I will notice anything at all.

Discuss!

 

I am not sure about those numbers... but you will DEFINITELY notice a difference over your box mod.. Enjoy!

 

What it is (heard from a couple people) is that those numbers are rated from the flywheel. not the wheels... k&n and such is rated at the wheels, which technically still has higher numbers at times

 

We have see 6-7 whp. on the dyno, but the fuel trims are off and it leans out the fuel curve.

 

17/16? wher'd you get those numbers?

 

their site probly has it on there.. but like i said.. those numbers are rated from flywheel... not wheels.

 

keep this in mind, the seller of aftermarket parts will ALWAYS use the highest #'s they have ever seen. one member may have somehow gained 16 hp because the first dyno was on a shitty, crazy hot day after back to back runs, and after the install, it was done on an ideal day in perfect conditions.

dyno results are pretty much worthless in terms of accuracy, the margin of error is way too big to be able to compare what happens when you put in an intake. dyno's are good for tuning, or for getting an ESTIMATE of power. that's about it.

 

thanks, can't wait to install!

What things should I notice after install? Will I shoot flames? Just kiddin.. but what should I expect!

 

don't expect much except a louder whine. if you go in expecting too much, you're going to be disapointed.

it takes one hell of a butt dyno to be able to tell the difference between 218whp and 222 whp. i think the "difference" that most people feel with an intake is in their head because of the sound.

 

couldn't have said it better myself

 

its amazing theres more of a whine threw out the gears. and it definitely has more power. but u may not hear it as much as me cuz u dont have the stock exhaust like me
