ADM Intake Scoop Data at the track

[ADM PERFORMANCE]

Yesterday Number 9 showed up for a little more power,He purchased our new Intake scoop that goes were the waterbottle sits currently as well as a set of ARH 1 7/8 Headers and a tune.

His prior setup was:

ADM Street Intake
ADM Performance tune
ADM Extra quite custom 2.5" exhaust
ADM Extended o2 sensor kit
ADM Downpipes

He made 342rwhp and 360tq

His best time in the 1/8 mile was 8.54 @ 83.8 - NOT SHABBY!


His new setup is :

ADM Race Intake
ADM Intense performance tune
ADM Performance quite custom 2.5" exhaust
ARH Stainless 1 7/8 headers

He makes 360 rwhp and 378tq

His new time in the 1/8th mile is 8.289 @ 87.23


Looks like the Airscoop is good for some serious mph over our street version.

Already had a tune(car made 305 rwhp stock) and already had our Downpipes that make 20-25 rwhp...so switching to headers does not make much difference over our downpipes.

HOLY CRAP ADAM!

CALLING ALL CARS! CALLING ALL CARS - "ADAM 12" is ripping up the track!


That would be a better screen name for ya! "ADAM 12".

Andy looks like we need to test one on a M6 car! Those gains are TEMENDOUS! Need to get a Converter in that car and then it starts parking some SERIOUS trailer cars.

Nice Job Andy, I am just curious, Are you forcing Lock up in 4th when dynoing Auto Cars, the numbers seem low but normal if converter is not locked in 4th.

Not locking the converter.


Our dyno is notorious for being the lowest in the metroplex...I have no probelms with that.

I thought so.

I would be curious to hear how the numbers change with the converter locked.

Not that it really matters the Track Times show the results.

If you get a chance to try it let me know.

auto converters are already locked at wot in the factory tune in the normal, pattern a and b, all except 1st gear, were these track runs with the factory tcc wot settings or was the tcc turned off at WOT?

[GMRULZ]

Excellent Andy and number 9. I ordered my race intake from you Any on friday after we spoke. Looking forward to getting it! What was the DA when number 9 ran? looking to compare to mine, headers only no tune, 8.49@84.76 on a +1219DA.

[Number_9]

Here what I can answer (what I know...) - hopefully, Andy will fill in any gaps. Runs were at Northstar Dragway, an 1/8 mile track near me... so, according to dragtimes.com, here's some stats from race night:

Temp: 72.0 F
Humidity: 51%
Pressure: 30.05 in
Track elevation: 662ft above sea level

Calculated Results - Density Altitude: 1686 feet, Relative Density: 95.16 %. My 1/8 mile time was 8.2898 seconds @87.23mph.

Using the Tools at dragtimes.com and some conversion calculators that would be approximately a 12.992 @104.1mph in the 1/4 mile (again, that's calculated as I still haven't hit a 1/4 mile track yet.)

That track conversion is off. An 87 mph trap speed will get you more than 104mph trap speed.
In my GTO I had an 88mph trap speed in the 1/8 mile when I trapped 111mph in the 1/4 mile. And 8.2 in the 1/8 mile is a mid 12 sec run.

Sweet! I like errors in my favor! haha.

[DanD]

i have had my cars run 88-92 in the 1/8 and then run 110-114 1/4.. and 100 1/8 and 125 1/4

so usually add 18-22 mph on cars in the 85-95 mph 1/8 speeds N/A

Yeah, based on your 1/8 time a trap speed, you're probably looking at
12.7 @ 111 mph or so.

We have a very extensive list of changes we make to in-house L-99 transmissions

I lock them at 89 mph...after the 1/8th.

HEHEHEHEHEHEHE I Just caught this

ADM = "SPEED RIPS"

There is no question what so ever that this ADM RACE AIR SCOOP works.

How did we get from the ADM RACE AIR SCOOP to hung up on converter stuff? There is a lot to be gained with TRANS tuning. Andy has done stome extensive testing on the trans tuning and many adjustments or rather THEORIES have been confirmed with Adam beating the hell out of his baby at the track. But all this is for another thread elsewhere.

Lets try to stick to the ADM RACE AIR SCOOP! Remember SPEED RIPS!

I would say lovingly caressing her down the track. Like a jockey with a thoroughbred horse.

I've been wondering about this. Do you know what the parameters are for lockup when not at WOT?

the tables are based off of gear, throttle and speed you can set them to whatever you like when tuning, cars with a large cam i leave the tcc off till almost hwy speeds otherwise your just lugging the engine out of its power band

Anyone notice this thread is from Sept. 2009?

LOL! No doubt. EVIL has had her share of passes down the track that's for sure!

The ADM Race Scoop still ranks as one of the best mods too. I have the realtime feedback of my IAT temps and, under load at the track or driving down the road on my way to the track, my IAT's are typically only 1-3 degrees higher than the EAT and yo cannot beat that!
