Soo i put the otr cai back on, had a nice 72 start of the day. Just over half a tank. Cooled the car down for 40 minutes. There was a 10mph cross/head wind tho and HI humidity Time trial: 2.09 60ft, 5.85 330ft, 8.93 @ 80.8 Rd 1: 2.09 60ft, 5.86 330ft, 8.94 @ 80.8 Cooled off and the wind calmed Rd 2:...

Ok, so just got back from the track. Took the CAI off. Was finally able to run with my new wheels. 265/40 on a 18x9.5 and 235/45 on a 18.8.5. They were 30lbs lighter than the steelies/tyres. 74*, 9/16 tank of gas. Low humity, same time of day as my 9.05 day. Pretty accurate comparison; 2.20 60ft, 6....

Just to follow up the rain concern I was going into town and it was sprinkling about the last mile i was on the highway going 80. Pulled into the store, checked out the intake and it wasnt even wet. I taped the opening from the sides of the bowtie up,,, Went to work and it rained all night. Popped t...

Unfortunately, i didnt get my rims in time to have as accurate of a test as i wanted to. So i put my orsson OTR CAI on. I thought if i had the better 235/50 tires on the back now it'd still give some good data as how much the new intake was. It didnt go well Was 70*, so its same as the 9.05 runs. 5/...

Weather calls for 100% rain tomorrow. Im going to tape up the grill opening nascar style till i can make something to prevent it from puddling. Performance update! First, the induction sound aint a joke lmfao I posted in General Discussion about my track times. I ran my fastest times yet at the trac...

Since there wasnt anything to mount it to, i drilled 2 holes in the radiator support and bolted a couple of strips on metal to it. There are weird shapes right where the screw holes for the intake are, i had to grind the strips down and put them on angles, made locating the holes for the intake hard...

No tabs for the top of the air box to mount on lol

I didnt want to be any harder on the car than i had to. I was only having troubles that day b.c the good air and the tires were shot on this new car. On the 9.11 and 1st 9.05 pass is was only a touch more than a chirp. Im just getting new tires as a first upgrade b.c the bald tires are now on the fr...

Black 2012 - Ember! 117k, 10k total hrs, 6.9k idle •Test n Tune; 7/16 tank of gas. 9.20 on a 3m cooldown lol then ~1hr between next 4 runs. 9.25, 9.14 but .06 slower 60ft, 9.11, 9.05! Went and put more (5/8 tank) 93 in, came back to the lanes (no cooldown) and...

Will they fit says ill have .5 mph split at 30 front to rear And at what point is a gear change also requiring a trans computer change? Im only going 15mm more dia. I asume its not enough to matter to the t...
