.justin. Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 I guess what I am saying is that you cannot truly judge whether a CAI is really picking up cold air from the IAT log, because the MAF is so succeptible to heat soak on extended idling - you gotta have a separate "thermometer" inside the air cleaner element itself to judge if the air cleaner is picking up cold air. Now if *both* the thermocouple as well as the IAT report high temps then yeah the CAI kit is failing to pick up fresh air. From what I see there are a few basic designs of CAI - "headlight breathers," "fender breathers," "bottom breathers," "underhood breathers," and "cowl breathers" - and inside of each group I would expect products to have similar performance (heat wise) i.e. I would expect all headlight breathing CAI kits (K&N and similar) to behave similarly... Mr. P. All pulls will be done with similar operating conditions. Headlight will remain in place, dyno temperature probe will be in the same position for each set of runs. Data will be recorded from vehicle IAT after rolling for at one minute at moderate load to get substantial air through the MAF to mitigate heat soak. Power will be spot-checked at various cruise cells as well as recorded at WOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packjh Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 If we have one, I intend to. Justin If i would have more warning i still have my old intake laying around somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.justin. Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 If i would have more warning i still have my old intake laying around somewhere I THINK I still have mine, but not sure I want to lug it across country just for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chpspecial Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I have the stock intake, GMPP and outlaw ready for this... this should be interesting and will add more data to the tread that I already started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12'SROCK Posted April 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I have the stock intake, GMPP and outlaw ready for this... this should be interesting and will add more data to the tread that I already started yeah so we still need a VOLANT intake and we will be set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12'SROCK Posted May 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) ok all the testing was done today. we were only able to test the AEM, K&N, GMPP, OUTLAW, STOCK w/ K&N panel filter. we logged the MAF G/SEC,MAF HZ, MAF KPa, IAT, HP/TQ. . . . ..stay tuned until we post the results Edited May 5, 2008 by 12'SROCK (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirt_track_racer_81 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 very interested in the differences if any..only testing ive done is on a stock 2wd ss, had the tune done and pulled the stock air box lid off and made no difference in power or afr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
