Op..as mentioned above... every dyno is different... order of mods will give you different results... hell, even the tuner can make more of a difference... some say the trick is air volume... some say its intake position... however, the unanimous agreement is that the air must be as cool as possible

Lol well kami speed... hook me up with the price.

Thinking of switching to G3's or some other form of intake with a harder intake tube because I am tossing the idea around of getting N2O again and use that at the track.....

oh ok... well that's understandable. Remember that Motordyne is going to be working on an intake set-up too... don't know when it will be out though.

henry0844 · 10-19-2011, 09:06 PM

also I think I read that the diameter of the maf section of the g3's are larger than stock so it leans the Afr out a little causing a bit more gains. you would probably see better gains after a tune with the g3's than drop ins and post maf tubes. again tho, requires more $$$

Red__Zed · 10-18-2011, 09:23 PM

i ran hps and filters, also tried the injens. was much happier with the post maf tubes.

henry0844 · 10-18-2011, 10:46 PM

I ran drop ins with post maf tubes, then switched to g3's. g3's on my car are far superior to the previous setup.

Jordo! · 10-19-2011, 12:08 AM

Yes. It's good bang for the buck.

Noise and buttdyno calibration aside, you're looking at really only a few more whp (~4-5) for the G3's over the smooth tubes plus drop-ins based on a number of dyno runfiles that I've reviewed.

That said, I'll have new comparison data soon, so we'll see if it's consistent with what I've found previously or not.

So, you got the same gains as the other guy with the G3's but saved 2-300 dollars. To me, sounds like a no brainer...

To be honest, if you didnt have to take the bumper off, id be more inclined to get the G3's, but if the gains are the same or that close, i just dont see the point myself... Especially after hearing about the G3's heating up alot and stuff. But im sure people will mention down sides of both setups...

i did, and i posted a dyno on it...it was about a year ago. the gen3 make a little more, not consistently the cherry picked advertised 18rwhp, but i would say about 12ish

that was my whole thought about taking off the front bumper, some people will say its not a hassle at all, but its not easier than popping two little latches to get the filters out of the box
