  3. Another Cai ?

    in Bolt On Performance

    Posted

    A complimentary intake and exhaust will allow you to get the most from a quality tune.

    Many people here run the Outlaw Power intakes with tunes.

     

    well to start off the material of the pipe isnt gonna change the HP or TQ numbers......thats a bunch of BS......you are just going to have to pick which CAI you like the best because everyone on here will say that the CAI that have is the best ans resally wont answer your question....a good tune always makes the most power

  5. Exhaust, Cold Air Intake, And Chips Vs. Custom Tune.

    *Intake:

    Many of us here have the Outlaw Power intake because it was developed on 4 member's SS at Outlaw Power and is proven to make power, reduce ET's and help your mpg (if you keep off the gas pedal).

     

    The dynos are here: http://www.outlawpower.com/productdetail.php?sc=1274

     

    *Exhaust:

    This recomendation highly depends on the sound you are trying to achieve.

     

    *Tune:

    A "dyno tuned" custom tune is best after you have your mods installed. Most importantly over brand is the talent of the ecu programmer/dyno operator.

  13. AEM Brute force Dryflow filter C.A.I

    in Bolt On Performance

    Posted

    Open filter intakes like the K&N and AEM are considered WAIs (Warm Air Intakes).

     

    Closed filter intakes like the Outlaw Power and Banks Power are considered CAIs (Cold Air Intakes).

     

    The best non-oiled filters on the market are the AEM DryFlow and Outlaw Power NeverOil, both were OEM developed with Caterpillar.

     

    Outlaw Power is well known on this forum but you may not have heard of them so here is the product info for our vehicles: http://www.outlawpower.com/productdetail.php?sc=1274

     

    A few of us SSS forum members helped Outlaw Power in the development of that intake.

  16. Power Caps

    in Radio/Electronics/Security

    1. Sorry I don't know the quality brands anymore. The ones I got back in the day were made by Mallory for Autosound 2000 (Richard Clark and David Navone)

     

    2. Rule of thumb is 1F per 1000 watts. But since you have a Class D amp, you might only need a 0.5F cap.

     

    Your amplifier already has capacitors built in. Did the manufacturer add enough? We don't know. If the guys that say adding caps will reduce their SPL, they should open up their amplifiers, unsolder and remove their power supply caps so that they can get even more spl.

     

    I added caps for the pure reason of eliminating headlight dimming when the bass hits. It worked.

     

    As a side benefit, the engine started quicker because the starter was getting the propper voltage from the cap!

     

     

     

    If Im only running one amp is a power cap worth the money? If so...

     

    1.) Decent brands?

     

    2.) How big?

     

    Setup:

    2 12" Kicker CVRS.

    1 Kicker 750.1 Class D amp.

    1 Valor DTS 603W head unit.

     

    Any and all opinions are appreciated.

  21. MPG?

    in Bolt On Performance

    Posted · Edited by haulin79 (see edit history)

    Improved mpg means better efficiency, so for every drop of gas that is used, a larger percentage of that drop is converted into POWER which translates into motion and therefore distance.

     

    I doubt anybody here would complain about more power.

     

    Many things that improve mileage will also improve acceleration:

    less weight - carbon fiber parts, lighter rims and tire combos.

    less friction - synthetic lubrication.

    less aero drag - bed cover, lowered suspension.

    less engine air flow restriction - exhaust, cold air intake

  23. renewable nitrous

    in Forced Induction and Nitrous

    I think the original poster is interested in a cooling system or way to get extra power without extermally filling a bottle.

     

    Here's one idea. Install an electric driven air compressor with tank. Perhaps the similar to that used for power tools. Once the air is compressed and stored in the tank, the compressor is turned off. Air cools down when it expands, so when you need the extra power, the high pressure compressed air can be released thus "freezing" the intercooler.

  25. Had My SS Dyno Tested

    in General SS

    Just a FYI, loading typically gives higher HP and TQ results, this is because with higher loading, there are less inertial effects. This is why the factory measures HP and TQ at static rpm points, to get the absolute highest loading at a particular RPM to eliminate inertial effects.

     

    For a set dyno load, inertial effects also explain why higher gears give higher HP and TQ results than lower gears.

     

    On the other hand, conditions were perfect.....a nice clear cool 60 degree morning. :ughdance:
