    C&L Product Questions?

    I agree. I'm not afraid to admit I bought a C&L MAF and didn't "feel" any difference. I never did a before and after dyno though.

    tired of Nitto dr's, need best hooking street tire

    I doubt think any performance tire will hook in cold weather. The rubber compound seems to get harder with cold weather and softer with warmer weather.

    17x8 - 17x9.5 - 17x11 - need opinion which??

    I with I had purchased 10.5" for the rear. I think it looks mean, plus you will like the added traction.

    Are LongTubes worth it?

    Yes, I have seen the dyno chart. He's at like 252/290 SAE. My car is at 250/292 SAE without LT's. I have conservative tune as well. I also use the stock TB and plenum.

    Are LongTubes worth it?

    From a power gain standpoint, I don't think they are worth it in N/A form. You can achieve just as much rwhp with stock headers, x pipe, cat-back, drop-in K&N, and a good tune. Do some on checking on N/A cars w/ headers for dyno numbers in SAE form. I am sure they sound excellend though.

    Added 20hp with C&L combo! Dyno results here

    Just a few posts back you said you didn't feel any difference with the plenum/TB. Which is it? Did you do a before and after dyno?

    Just got MM Subframes welded in yesterday & WOW...

    Thanks for being honest. On a COUPE, I highly doubt anyone would physically "feel" the difference of SFC's. Sure they might stiffen things up a bit, but the coupes are not anywhere near as flexible as the verts. I appreciate honest feedback. Most people are afraid to admit they spent...

    Plenum results on the way!

    Yup, I think that's correct and "limp mode" is a rich a/f ratio because it's "safe". When I added my x-pipe and had my car dynoed, I actually lost hp. and tq. and my a/f ratio went super rich. I then had it dynoed again about a month later and it dynoed higher (I only dyno in SAE form). I...

    Plenum results on the way!

    Interesting and different from with what Lee Bender told me at C&L regarding his product. He told me the biggest change they have seen to the a/f ratios on their test cars was (0.3:1). I'd just like to understand why. Either way, we are not talking about any major a/f changes and that's...

    Tuning and plenum mod. questions?

    From my experience, you only tune the a/f ratio at WOT. The part throttle a/f ratio doesn't get tinkered with. However, I believe my car's timing was tinkered with for both part throttle and WOT. I remember the tuner pulled out all timing retard after 3500 rpms. He refered to it as "throttle...

    Plenum results on the way!

    Matt - any chance you could post the before and after a/f ratios from each plenum/TB combo? There are some of us (mostly me) that are really curious to see the those combos change the a/f ratios, if so, leaner or richer. I am trying to avoid getting another tune if I add a plenum/TB combo...

    Tuning and plenum mod. questions?

    If someone knew what their a/f was before they installed the plenum/TB combo and then did a dyno afterwards that would help us as long as they posted their a/f graphs too. This way we could at least know if the car runs the same a/f after the install. Maybe the guy that did the test on...

    Tuning and plenum mod. questions?

    About two years ago I had my car dyno tuned for an a/f ratio of 13:1 at WOT with my current mods. If I add a new plenum/TB, who thinks I would need another tune and WHY? It's my understanding that if I have a programmed a/f of 13:1 at WOT, wouldn’t my computer strive to achieve 13:1 after...

    4.10s are installed PLEASE READ!

    The Kumho 712's don't hold my 1st gear from a roll and I have the lowly 3.27's. I hope that helps. I have 250/292 SAE numbers. Launching is ten times worse than punching it from a roll. As soon as my tach hits 3500 rpms, the tires break loose. It sucks. I am going to try BFG KDW's this spring.

    Stock gear 3.27 1/4 times and mph (NA ONLY)...

    BMan5150 – I’m sorry, I made the assumption you wanted the lowest possible ET your car could produce. Feel free to “walk it out of the hole” with heated DR’s. I’d just like to make a point. You said most of your ET problems occur with loss of traction on the 1-2 shift, and you don’t have as...

    Stock gear 3.27 1/4 times and mph (NA ONLY)...

    If you launch the way you need to for low 13's on DR's, I don't care what gear you are using, it's going to be hard on the drivetrain. "Walking it out of the hole" with 4.10's and DR's isn't going to produce your best times and for most people, low ET's are the goal of the 1/4 mi. You will need...

    Stock gear 3.27 1/4 times and mph (NA ONLY)...

    Good to know, I knew it could be done. I ran 13.89@101 mph with just pullies, K&N and cat-back. I might have been pushing 235 rwhp at the time. I haven't been back to the track since then. Since then I have added some more mods. + a tune, and my car has dynoed peak numbers of 250...

    Stock gear 3.27 1/4 times and mph (NA ONLY)...

    Come on, there has to be some cars out there doing low 13's with bolt-on's and stock gearing. Let's see those ET's!

    Stock gear 3.27 1/4 times and mph (NA ONLY)...

    I am curious if cars with 3.27's can produce just as good (or better) track times as cars with 4.10's. I am not interested in cars with blowers because those cars are in a whole different league. I am looking for NA cars that have hit mid 13's to very high 12's. Is it possible with just...

    Would a dyno tune help me?

    I know a tune would give you more power, but wait until after you add the plenum and TB. My car gained 8 rwhp/10 rwtq. from a dyno tune. Plus, you can make other changes as well. You won't have to run a speedo corrector or MIL eliminators after a tune if you tell them to address those...
