Best CAI-Exhuast Combo for max RWHP?
I didn't want to hijack the 500RWHP thread.
For now my plans are exhaust the ARH Long tube system, maybe adding a back half, but if the back half flows fine with the ARH header cat/back system I may leave it. Vararam intake when it shows. 3.90 or 4.10 gears when they show. Hurst aftermarket 40% shifter when it shows. I don't want to mess with the PCM for now, and don't want to toy with the engine for a while. Hoping for 400-420 RWHP, but dynod at 359 RWHP and think that CAI and exhaust grabbing 41+ RWHP might be a little pie in the sky untuned. My thinking may be wrong but I don't see the CAI+exhaust add's to be a highly cumulative effect on RWHP. |

You can make 41 rwhp with intake, headers, high flow cats and a tune.
But you need a tune with long tube headers. |

I would put on the ARH system...then an axle-back for sound...then either the New Era intake, or the Roto-Fab depending on you taste....Then I would do a laptop based tune so you can switch back and forth from stock for warranty reasons.
I would expect 50RWHP from those Mods. I would be happy to help with pricing and ordering if you decide to. |

Basically it is a wire that plugs in from your laptop to your car...then with a special program you gain download a new PCM tune into your car! When you want to change it you just plug back in and download the stock tune back in. There will be a lot of tunes available, such as:
stock CAI CAI + Long Tubes, etc... and you will be able to switch back and forth, or upgrade when you change the car or mods in the future. Very easy to use. |
