I have the following done: AFR 185cc heads,Trickflow stage 2 cam, BBK SSI intake, 1.6 FRPP roller rockers, 42lbs injectors, 80MM maf, 70MM TB, Vortech V-2 SQ S-trim @ 10lbs w/ power pipe. Now the motor made 320 rwhp on motor w/o supercharger......any guesses and when I get it dyno tuned I will see who is the closest.....keep this mind though this will be on a mustang dyno which puts out lower numbers

I can't believe you only made only 320 with the motor. Did you have it tuned?

With 10psi of boost I will say 520. Pretty much too much for the stock block.

440-450HP the intake is holding back the HP but it aint hurting the torque or the street fun is it.

No I have never had the car tuned. I just bolted the stuff on and had it dynoed. and it was on a MUSTANG dyno so it is lower than a dynojet. Mustang dynos put resistance on the rollers where dynojets dont. They say mustang dynoes are more accurate cause the road doesnt give when you hook up. On a dynojet its like jacking the rearend up and letting the tires free spin

What intake do you recommend I use. I just want something that you do see much and I havent seen a supercharger bolted to a BBK intake

If its a street car I say stay with what you got. It looks cool and builds a ****load of torque.

Looks cool? eeek I think they look awful.

just my opinion though.

I have seen people rave about the Systemax intake and even pick up power when switching to them. I would say you should mek upwards of 475-500 with the right tune.

I agree with 25th as far as the BBK intake looks. If you're seriously considering switching the intake, definitely go with a Systemax. All of the serious street EFI combos, whether boost or n/a are running a Systemax. With a good tune you should see 450-500. I know it's a big range, but it depends a lot on the tune, temperature, boost, etc. I know you said 10psi, but just because it's pullied for that doesn't mean that's what it will always make. That thing will really start huffin on a nice cold night. My buddy's S-trim made 11psi on the dyno and 475rwhp, and on a 40 degree night it would make 16+ I would love to have known what it was making on those nights

Well I was thing about going to get that BBK SSI-R intake they said it made like 18 more hp over the base SSI and it does kinds look like some of the boxed intakes. I wonder if that would run good? Also the cam I got is that a good blower cam or should I change it?
