<FONT SIZE="4">BOTH OF THESE ARE ON THE EDELBROCK INTAKE MANIFOLD</FONT>
for those of you thinking a CAI and stock IM is better than a shorty and the Edlebrock manifold

This dyno is different than Edelbrocks dyno, that is why the numbers are different than my other posts.

 

Well, post up the other chart that shows the basline that AEM started with.

You only gave me one chart poser.

 

wait... you tuned the car with the cai, but it was untuned for the run with the short ram?

 

No...the tuning part was making a new CAI. The ECU calibration is still completely stock. This was the graph at Edelbrock with the AEM short ram before going to AEM for the construction of the new CAI. The AEM will have the only cold air intake that fits and works with the Edelrbock PerformerX manifold. +5 whp with the intake manifold, +3 whp peak with the new CAI.

The fuel and ignition timing are also STOCK!!!

This is a true bolt on car!

 

always good info im guessing. you can extrapalte this dyno to say that cai's are better then shorties

 

Interesting dyno chart. Now the question is, how much will the AEM CAI cost? Will it be worth the extra few ponies considering that you can get a short ram for pretty cheap.

Also, how did AEM do the dyno testing? I came across an article a few days that makes me lose a little faith in their testing process.

I read that article in TPR a long while back. I actually don't think that you can test a car with the hood closed, like they did at TPR. They claim its more real world, but then most dynos pull the power run in third gear! Now, in third gear, a Honda Civic gets close up over 80 mph. You think that little fan most dynos use can simulate air rushing into the engine compartment at over 80 mph?

 

good power! like to see some dyno's with cars with more bolt on's..

I don't know about the cost. That's up to AEM
Yes it is worth the few extra ponies!!! This extra power is over a Short ram already! Plus, the short ram and other CAIs don't mount properly with the new manifold....basically the only thing holding them on is the throttle body and the fact that the filter rests against the back of the headlight.

 

Bump for Monday crew.
