Cold Air Intake Independent Testing Results by Jannetty Racing

Can you kind of get an idea of if it was running rich/lean by the fuel trims they posted?

If you care to chime in on why they might have done that, then have at it. If you just want to go around to different threads TRYING to find something that MIGHT vendicate you, LOOK ELSEWHERE. You were WRONG, deal with it and move on. You only make yourself look worse, although I don't know how much worse you can look.

Isn't your pity party thread needing a bump?

I only took a picture of the first dyno run prior to tuning the AFR. I think final tune was around 12.8 and lost one hp. The motor was hotter and may have increased hp for final tune if cold. I will get the other pull and post it on the Halltech thread.

Sorry, I didn't know everyone was so picky. I said in the post we let off at 6,500 on the first pull and all we had done was sweep the MAF code 116% on the prior tune for the stock air box. I thought this was the most relevant run but I will post the other pull as well in the Halltech thread.

I did not intend this to be a comparison to the prior shoot out. I just thought someone might want to know what this intake did with AR Headers, a big cam and a tune.

Not your problem. We have a member that's trying to vendicate himself in any thread that mentions AFR's. It's a nice gain, just noticing a few things, hence the reason I asked.

Granted every car is different so results may vary plus adding more fuel sometimes allows for more timing thus giving you more power.

Bottom line is that no A/F testing was performed on the CAI testing by Jannetty so why keep harping on it.

I just got tuned and we found the same thing. My L99 made more power at 12.7 AFR than at 13.1 . It`s in my post. Not every car likes a real lean mixture.

The C6Z06 on the other hand is very responsive to air fuel ratios in Open Loop.

Here is the very first Z06 tuned in the World by Jim Hall. This was back in Jan. of 2006. Stock intake was onboard for the before and after dynos:



13.4 Air Fuel ratio was not intended, but we saw a mere 2 degrees of knock retard, which is common on a bone stock C6.

Here is another C6Z06 that we tuned by Jim's World Famous emailTUNE®
This customer was on the dyno 2000 miles away and asked for a richer, then leaner tune. When we were finished, you can see the effect air fuel ratio had on horsepower. No other changes were made during these pulls except changes in the commanded PE/RPM (Power Enrichment) Code. In the end, a full 20 RWHP was gained just tweaking this one parameter.



The bottom line is some LS Gen IV motors love leaner mixtures, especially if you can avoid knock retard with proper timing.

The Camaro LS3 is near identical to the Corvette LS3 in its timing, GM countermeasures, knock retard sensitivity, and air flow tables. We spent 1 full day on the dyno in IL trying to pull more hp out of an LS3 C6, and finally found a whopping 5 RWHP! We eventually found the key to tuning these motors, but most of you know, tuning is now a GM no no if you plan on keeping your warranty.

We have made even more at 12.4-12.5.

They do like fuel as well as spark

We need a like this but for catbacks

great job you guys

These Cars DO NOT Respond to Cat back exhaust changes, we test every one we install on a new model like this so we know for sure.

No, but our ears do!!
I have a Cat back system, and can't say that I actually noticed any difference apart from sound, but I also hadn't nailed it with the standard system as I was still running it in!!!


Ted, if you do get to test any more CAI kits, how about fitting a high flow replacement filter into the standard airbox, after the results from your last test, I think it might fair quite well!!!

We did that NO Change in HP or Torque.

Ted,
I sent you a PM.
Thanks

Yep, thats true in my case for sure, I beleive after the first adjustment, that pull made it 13.1 afr, he added fuel and timing and made more horsepower and especially torque w/ the richer mixture at 12.7.

Bump for the new guys.

Ted,

Can you please rank these CAI's? I'm looking at the spreadsheet and it looks like the Cold Air Inductions CAI is the best overall, but I was scolded the other day saying the Fastlane at the bottom of the spreadsheet was the best...

I guess the issue of tuning and ease of install IMO should be accounted for... versus raw HP gains... wouldn't most agree?

Personally, I'm not putting something that doesn't fit well in my car. And I'm not moving anything around, either. But that's just me; there are some to whom the couple extra hp is worth it. That's my guess as to why Ted DIDN'T rank them; some people decide based on pure hp/torque numbers and some people want the best-looking CAI.

[CGM2SSRS]

The reason Ted didn't rate them in this thread is, this test was straight across the board an unbiased test. Results were real world numbers and we are left to make our choice based on them. I'm sure if you contact him personally he would give you his personal opinion.

...in short...let the test results speak for themselves...let the chips fall where they may....any other applicable cliches' you can think of <insert here>.

If you like the in the garage homemade look go with the fastlane. If you want a professional production look....
