    Do I have the C&L street intake or the Racer intake?

    It sounds like you have a hybrid C&L CAI that combines the 85mm MAF housing from the Street CAI with the plastic tubing from the Race CAI. Bamachips sold them before joining up with American Muscle.

    CAI tube material

    Suggest that you base your CAI selection on the one which appeals to you the most from a reputable manufacturer(the 2 that are mentioned in previous posts here fall into this category), and not on the type of material that it's made from. The velocity of the inlet air thru a CAI is so fast...

    Is a 05 GT 5spd faster than a 99 cobra????

    Only one sure way to determine that for yourself => drive both cars.

    Help Please!

    If you disconnected the battery before replacing the starter(not doing so is having a death wish), then the computer's KAM(keep alive memory) was wiped out, and it may take 20 or so miles of driving for everything to re-stabilize. There's also a procedure in the Battery Maintenance section of...

    Water leaking in. Where is it coming in from?

    The WW wipers don't have to be removed in order to remove the cabin filter. The plastic panel at the base of the windshield is comprised of 2 pieces, and only the passenger's side has to be removed to access the cabin filter. However, placing the WW wipers in the 12 o'clock position may...

    Horespower Gain from just a tune??

    You're welcome. If the term "stock intake piping" in your 1st statement refers to only the factory air system's inlet tubing sans the air box/MAF housing/filter, then I believe it's safe to say that it's not that much of a bottleneck. A gain of only 3 hp when using MMR's inlet tubing in...

    Horespower Gain from just a tune??

    Excellent write up! That's one of the best, if not the best, explanation I've read regarding why a CAI with a larger than stock MAF diameter requires an aftermarket tune. However, I have a question and a comment on your last paragraph. (1) Does the "CAI system" in your 1st statement refer to...

    Custom Tune... Pinging?

    You're welcome. Seafoam is good stuff. Glad to hear that it got rid of the pinging.

    Horespower Gain from just a tune??

    Did you datalog the IAT's only when the car was moving? If so, then see if they're considerably higher than ambient when the car is standing still for at least a minute with the engine idling after it has reached normal operating temperature. The IAT's on my 05 GT with a C&L Street CAI and...

    That CAI made a big difference in the engine's power output when compared to the stock intake. :nice:

    Horespower Gain from just a tune??

    2 are open at any given instant in time, 4 open during 1 crankshaft revolution, and all 8 open during 2 crankshaft revolutions. However, it must be remembered that only 1/8 of the total volume of air that's flowing into the engine thru the air intake reaches each intake port, because it's...

    Horespower Gain from just a tune??

    The numbers that you stated in your post, in of themselves, are correct. What's incorrect(and the main reason for my post) is your misleading implication of what these numbers depict(that the stock intake's total airflow capacity exceeds the stock heads' total airflow capacity) in an attempt to...

    brooksspeed email tune

    Glad to hear you're happy with the new tune. I've heard that Eric does quality tuning work. However, IMHO it's very possible that one or more of the following factors, and not the new tune, may have been the reason why your car felt more powerful, and was able to chirp the tires on a 2-3...

    Horespower Gain from just a tune??

    According to the referenced article, the C&L intake manifold flows no less than 317 cfm per port. That calculates to no less than 2536 cfm for the entire manifold. WRT the BBR article, it does not state whether the 225 cfm flow is for one intake valve port, for the 4 intake valve ports in...

    tune - tq vs perf

    Same here with my 93 Race tune. Zero throttle lag. Plus, plenty of power throughout the entire rpm range. And for icing on the cake, my manual 05 GT with 3.55 gears gets 27 mpg on the highway doing a steady 65 mph.

    Custom Tune... Pinging?

    It's best to pour it in the tank at the gas station immediately before filling up. This insures that it mixes well with the gas.

    Custom Tune... Pinging?

    If you had been using 93 octane gas with the stock 87 octane tune over a 2 month period, then some carbon may have built up inside the combustion chambers, which is causing the pinging with the 93 tune. To check that theory, reinstall the stock air intake and the stock tune when the 93 octane...
