i have some dyno proof on k&n filters, ya know ya wanna see it!!!

[stangman]

FYI, all Ford 4.6 motors made on a day that ends with Y are freaks.


Well I hope this one is serious unlike this thread...

yup it will be I promise. i wasn't thinking straight when i posted this one & everything went wrong cause i wasn't paying attention to exactly what i was saying. i'm normally a detailed peron & this was crap. so i will make up for it the next time around, with two write ups to redeem myself one on the filter & the other with the exhaust

so what would happen if you stuck a real air intake on there? -25 HP?

I've heard people say that a K&N is better then a CAI is there any truth to this? I mean there has to be something wrong with this guys car...

...i couldn't believe it, cause i've always heard about how they actually give you more hp. i actually lost 6.6 rwhp & 8.6 rwtq with just that filter...

Did you remove the plastic "saran wrap" from the filter after removing it from the box?

My last K&N filter (for a motorcycle) was wrapped in clear plastic...




The damn thing wouldn't run until I pulled the plastic off!!

Hey this just in!

In response to todays shocking news concerning the K&N Air Filter's performance value, we at Frigemall Industries have done a little R&D in contravertial areas ourselves. Our discovery will, much same as this K&N Scandal, shake the automotive world at its foundations.

We made our baseline run in a stock '04 Mustang GT, recieving these numbers:
250HP
280FtLB
Here is our breakthrough discovery. After completely purging the engine of ALL oil we made these incredible new numbers:
386HP
457FtLb
INCREDIBLE!!!!!! Why do this you might ask? Here are some obvious, and interesting reasons:
1: No more oil leaks (Which have been directly linked to blown engines)
2: No more loss of oil pressure problems (which also destroy engines)
3: No more pesky oil changes (Think of the money saved!!!)

For just $59.95 we will send you the entire kit which includes a complimentary oil pressure light override unit.

i want one!!!!

think i'll get more power out of it since i'm running synthetic?

i thought Spishak Industries came out with that kit first

dude, your making yourself sound like a complete ignorant fool! If you know anything about cars or building them whatsoever (and i promise you i do) you are nowhere near 296hp at the flywheel where do these people come from. You can roughly use that 30% if your talking your going to use the rwhp number from the mustang dyno. In other words if you put down say 200 at the wheel then take that 200 and multiply it by .3 then add that to the 200 to get your flywheel hp.

200X.3=60.....total flywheel hp= 260hp so your right at the exact rating that it came with from the factory good job.

Looks like we have more than one math challenged individual in here.

The formula to find fwhp from rwhp is:

RWHP/(1-drivetrain loss%)=FWHP

200/.70=285.72 fwhp (not the 260 you mention above)

If you don't think that's correct, do the math backwards.

285.72 - 30% = 200 fwhp


By the way...I call BS on the 30% drivetrain loss, and and even bigger BS on the 296 rwhp.

 

[forpit2000gt]

damn, if you had a spiralmax , you would have over 300 hp......

 

[98superstangGT]

0.70 = 70 %, therefore you multiply 296 by 70%, because you're taking 30% out of the equation for the drivetrain loss (as claimed by the author of this thread)

i don't think thats ebonics math, i think its real math.

example: if you have 10 dollars, and you lose 30% of the money, you have 70% left. to get 70% of 10 dollars, multiply .70 by 10, and you'll get 7.

looks like you gotta get back to school huh?

he DOESNT have 296 at the flywheel so you cant use that number, he only wishes he had that.

it wasnt 296rwhp jackass! he tried saying he had that at the flywheel, which is still The 30% does come out right if your talking a mustang dyno and you use the rwhp from that. like i said, take 30% of his 200rwhp and where do you end up? right where its suppose to for a stock mustang. If you honestly think your math is right and he has 285.72 at the crank then you have as many issues as he does for stating he has 296 at the flywheel.
