Anyone running one and how do they like it? (Prefferably N/A applications) I want to get one because my BBK CAI fits like poo and its scrathing the crap out of my shock tower housing If anyone has pics, THAT WOULD BE GREAT!!! which one should i get? i have stock MAF now but later i want to add a 76-77? MM MAF and keep the same powerpipe. oh, and whats that coating you can get for an extra $50 like? THANKS!!!

(old) pictures in sig..

Setup A
. Pro M 75mm bullet
. Mac fenderwell cold air kit
. 278hp/307tq
Setup B
. Pro M 80mm shorty
. Anderson 3.5" n/a powerpipe
. 282hp/309tq

Never noticed a difference, SOTP, between the two setups. The powerpipe setup makes 4hp/2tq more peak power, but who knows if the pipe or the meter is responsible for that. Back to back runs, hood open.

If you're thinking about getting the one that works with the bullet or stock style meters, don't waste your money. The other type is nice because it puts the meter in the fender, and there's no bend before the sampling tube. But, you'll need to buy a shorty meter ($300-400) to use it.

I'm not sure why you're having fitment problems with your bbk kit.. are you sure it's installed correctly?

EDIT: fwiw, I went back to my mac setup a while ago. The low end torque numbers were a little higher, it looks better to me (with the polished tb/egr spacer), and I felt better tapping it for the nitrous nozzle than I did about the powerpipe. I bought the powerpipe setup used.. and there's no way I would shell out $200 for the pipe and $400 for a meter, for virtually no performance gain. Maybe on a heavier breathing motor than mine, but..

It dosent look like the pipe did anything, the mad probably did it. Stock airbox with a smooth pipe might work just as good, to a point anyway.

What were the gains like across the board and what was the air/fuel with both?

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
