Yes, this will fit right up to the Gen 1 kits. Will be one of the dollar per dollar cheapest upgrades you could do too.

Will you be making the new intake design available before the full gen 2 kit is ready to ship? I'm going to install my gen 1 in a month and it would be nice if I could purchase one prior to tuning if possible.

same thing here. I already have my kit installed. Just waiting on the fuel components to get here and should be ready for seb to tune it.

Black Friday sale or not its worth the wait. Why not just wait for a quality product instead of save a few bucks on an inferior product?

I never mentioned anything about buying an inferior product. I was just simple stating to bad this wasn't fully developed in time for a black Friday sale..

Dyno day... Thursday at 2:00!

We will have 93 octane results.

Senna-F1 12-03-2019 08:21 PM

Who is the tuner? Will it be remote tuned or local?

Eugene will be remoting in for us.

Dahawkster 12-05-2019 03:21 PM

Is anybody else constantly refreshing the page waiting for the results?

So close!! Car wouldn't fit on the Dyno. This rig is slammed and with the widebody kit it was scrapping on the ramps. Also, the shop said the straps would be held tight against the cans on the Berk since it sits so low. It's in the shop now. We are removing the rear fenders and side skirts for clearance. Also removing the cans on the exhaust.

Dyno rescheduled for Thursday. Another week of waiting. Sorry guys. Pics for proof.

Sweet
Is that the finished intake ?

Sounds like the dyno run will be done without any exhaust restriction? Will that give inflated results?

The real gains have already been made by swapping out from the stock exhaust. The straight through design of any good forced induction exhaust doesn't really create that much of a restriction, unlike the stock exhaust. It might pick up a couple more ponies but nothing that would be looked at as inflated numbers by just removing the rear cans.

Inflated numbers are when you remove a known to be restrictive air filter entirely like some places have done and then post up numbers saying your kit makes 80whp more than the competition. I don't operate that way.

Anyone else annoyed that today is only Tuesday? Looking forward to seeing how this goes!!

To shed some light on this. Yes and no. It will be very close but we may not have left enough room for a bash bar so it might move over just a tad. However, we have a metal intake that goes from 3.5" to 3.25", passing through the radiator shroud, back to 3.5". There is zero chance of anything collapsing as it is metal throughout and it models flow to be amazing. Im really excited to see what we make with that in combination with the OEM manifold.

The only thing I wish I could change is that we will only be able to dyno on 93 octane tomorrow. We can conclude what it will make on E85 though and I have several guys ready to throw this kit on and throw down some E85 numbers.

TopgunZ 12-12-2019 10:27 AM

Wish us luck! We are driving to the Dyno in a few hours and it is snowing here like crazy!

We have a winner! Not only did we meet the goal of 500whp on pump gas but exceeded it by quiet a bit. More pics and videos to come.

Yes sir!

This is the exact same pulley setup as what I always have sold. 2.8 serp, 3.2 JS and 3.2 SC side.

The Cannon intake is breathing nicely.

No doubt we will see 600whp with E85 on the stock setup!

Are you going to tune that car on e85?

Can't see FB videos, can you YT it?

Senna-F1 12-12-2019 10:17 PM

Looks like there is more power to gain from this kit. How much time did you spend on the dyno? It’s obviously making more boost, even down low. But if you look at TQ at 3000 RPM, it’s down about 70 lb-ft compared to the current kit. But good news is it’s already making more than an extra pound of boost at that RPM just eyeballing it. >3 psi compared to <2 psi.

Are you talking pump gas or E85? Once she tastes corn it's going to light up the torque.

Senna-F1 12-12-2019 10:37 PM

I was comparing it to your original kit on pump.

Oh wait... your new graph unfortunately uses 2 different scales for HP and TQ and it looks to be cut off on the right where TQ numbers are. So, my statements might be off, I’ll need a closer look. Normally TQ and HP cross at 5252 RPM.

It still looks like 300 HP and 300 TQ are at the same level, so my observation is still correct. Normally you’re at 270+ lb-ft at 3000 rpm.

Senna-F1 12-12-2019 10:52 PM

Aaron, I had to edit my post above. I didn’t realize the scales were different. But it still looks to be down at the lower rpm range. I hope to get Eugene to remote dyno tune as well, so I’m very interested in how well that went. Probably not the easiest thing to do.

That graph is from my car, that was e85 and 91 octane.

TopgunZ 12-12-2019 11:12 PM

Yeah we will revisit this and tweak it in once we can get a tank of good E85 in her. They run the crappy winter blend up here this time of year.

There will be a few guys with numbers before we get the good stuff though.

TopgunZ 12-12-2019 11:18 PM

We are only 15whp and 30wtq off from those E85 numbers on pump gas. It will make that up by just the cooling properties of the ethanol alone. Throw some timing at it and it's going to dominate.

Need to see those e85 numbers :driving: ;)

bcfromfl 12-13-2019 06:27 AM

Any ideas yet for a timeline when these kits will be available? Still sourcing part fabrication?

nic370 12-13-2019 09:49 AM

Awsome work man
When you get chance to pick up your email
I have more news on uk sales ;)
