i'm guessing he's talking about the new ones that run mid 14's in the 1/4

and damn dan.. so that mean for under 2k you can have almost 320 whp jeez... thats stupid retarded ridiculously awesome

 

That very cool that you are so customer oriented. I am in the market for an intake like your competitors I just do not like their choice of filter S&B filters seem to be far superior to the K&N. Will you PM me a price and availability of your CAI style intake. I know you are still in the design phase.

 

Now that the final numbers are in how long before i can get the short ram and the tune.

 

I am sure not long man...

u should order it and Dan will do his best to get it to you asap

I know they are shipping out Tunes Monday!

 

lol yes it was an 09 accord coupe v-6, guy was a dick wouldn't leave me a lone kept flashing his lights at me i was so tired it was 1 am and i was an Oregonian in Washington, not the best place to speed they sure like giving tickets to us, but i got tired of him so i showed him what i had and he wasn't very interested after all hahahah

 

i wonder if hahn has an answer to all this goodness. I love it when other companies make other companies better because that means **** gets better for us as well.

 

yeah competition is always a good thing, they haven't said anything lately

 

I have already ordered the tune on wed. but was waiting for them to get the intake done so they can ship me both at the same time

 

is this tuned on 91?

 

Yes here in oregon the highest we can get is 91 i use nothing less cause that is what gm recommends using

 

were I live there is 87 89 92 93 94 we dont have 91 so would 92 be the best to run

 

Yes 92 would be better, we have no engine knock at all with 91. Man i wish i had higher octane here, i used to live in Ohio where you could get 100 octane.

 

so would it be better to run 94 over 92

 

Yes, but not sure it would make any difference, i know on my brothers srt-4 you put 100 octane in it and it goes better, not sure what it would do on our cars

 

wow! thats impresive # since im running the same kind of mods as you and i have a aftermarket IC and im only at 305whp and 351wtq

 

Yea it amazes me but it comes down to the tune and the aftermarket parts, Clear image has really worked their asses off to try and make the best products possible, also vince is a genius when it comes to tuning

 

damn i cant wait till i find a ss/tc around here that has all the opions i want. I am for sure going to be geting the short ram and the tune from these guys. The time that they are puting into these parts is like no other tuner car product i have seen. I am very impressed with what you guys are doing and i dont say that to alot of companys.

 

Well, if you mean bone stock, I assume you mean with the stock clutch also. The stock clutch is already a limiting factor for us. The tune Vince is going to provide for bone stock cars will be written to help prevent clutch slippage. It will also be a safe tune and NOT written to try and squeeze every last ounce of power out. If you want to do that, start replacing your intake and exhuast components to support it. Down pipe alone was good for 15 HP. Why risk damaging the engine by pushing the limits of the tune when a simple, non moving part, like a down-pipe can achieve the same results safely?

As far as the HKS blow-off valve. I personally see it as a wate of money. If you are looking for the sound of a BOV, install a free flwoing intake. The same money you spend on a BOV for sound can be spent on the intake which not only gives you the sound, but 15 plus HP to the wheels. BUT, since people seem interested in BOV's anyways, we will certainly offer them, though I think it should be one of the last modifications performed, not one of the first. Sort of like the intercooler. The factory intercooler has proven to be very efficient, despite what other companies may say in order to sell you a new one. When another company can prove their intercooler or BOV up-grades allow them to make more power than we have, let me know. Right now, as the owner of a manufacturing company, who has worked with two other companies to do the most extensive research, product development and dyno testing/tuning ever down for this vehicle, my opinion is this: stick with the stock BOV and intercooler. There's absolutely nothing wrong with either and there is NO reason to change them at this time. But, if you just have to have them, we can do it, and better than anyone else, as we have already proven.


The S&B filter is far superior to the K&N. It uses an internal velocity stack for smoother air flow as well as the top inverted inlet. And, you will be happy to know we looked at our competitors intake, we designed our own and, once again, we improved on the design in every way, shape and form. Ours has much better clearance under the hood as it sits lower. Ours is one piece mendrel bent tubing. Ours does NOT have any welds at all. Ours has less silicone couplers and less clamps. Ours keeps the MAF in the stock location so there is no need to have to open your wire harness to pull wiring out to extend to another location. Ours keeps the filter higher off the ground and angles it up and away from any potential water while also pointing the inlet of the filter directly towards the air stream. And, in our opinion, ours looks better. Also, as the customer, you will be happy to know we can give you all that for a better price than our competitor. I don't have the price set yet but here's a couple pictures of the prototype design:

The tune is avilable now. The intake will be available shortly. We are waiting for MAF flanges to be cut. Hopefully within the week.

Vince is planning to ship right away but Monday may be pushing it. He has a lot of data to compile from 8 hours of dyno testing and tuning Friday.

Absolutely true. We are still relatively new to this forum and don't have the same name in the EcoTec world as some of our competitors. But, as with every other market we have entered, we set the standard for product design, quality, performance and over-all excellence. The standard has just been raised.

Use the highest octane gas you can find.

Thanks very much. We do appreciate the fact you have recognized our hard work. We are doing everything possible to go above and beyond.

 

Great work. I cant wait for the downpipe. I'm very interested in that.

 

Dan's the man can't wait to see the prices and materials offered!! on the site

 

wow i missed alot while i was gone for the weekend... Still wanting the tuine haha installed my intercooler piping and ihahn intake this weekend

 

Sheldon you will love the tune! Are you going conservative?

 

conservative? what did i miss lol

Also another question for u ur 2 intercooler piping kits what they run at for price and are they all alluminum?

 

they are offering a conservative tune now because going too aggresive is causing clutch slippage.

 

Im not going ***** ass conservative i want aggresive! For the record im installing a new clutch come spring anyways.
