CAI Testing Results

[SHOnUup]

Well, I was going to get all technical(or at least try) with this testing, but the GoPro video turned out to reveal no noise difference being noticed...Tablet died due to long day, and grabbing the wrong charger for other tablet, and they all performed so close there isn't much to debate IMO.




MDesign:




After receiving the MDesign from Paul (pjw...), I installed it for the week leading up to testing the intakes. Was a slight pain for me to install due to the little to non existent wire play I had with IAT1. I ended up pre mounting the sensor in CAI before hooking up the intake piping. I really didn't like how the sensor just sits in a rubber grommet that is quite loose IMO. Stock and Windstorm boxes both have very sturdy platform for this to mount to and it made me a little uncomfortable. But it held up and performed well.




Sound: Gave a little more of a whistle sound at low rpm throttle input, but quieted as it ramped up I thought. Could be other noise drowning it out, but not audible to me with windows up at higher speeds.

Looking over these times and my slips from last year...the 60' is the main factor that either makes or breaks your run.

Nice work, Rich, thanks for doing all this work!

Thx...my pleasure. Track day is always fun. What a great bunch of people out at Milan. You're allowed all over the place, which gets you right on the line...either at the wall or directly behind in the staging lanes. Always a good time.

I see tapatalk didn't like me spacing instead of using columns....note to self

Floating time in the center of windstorm times is the 3rd run if using Tapatalk...easy to see on desktop

If you subtract the RT, from each of the results, you should get the absolute time correct? With such a bad RT on the last run , I'm curious what the real numbers are for each of the runs.

RT has nothing to do with the ET. Your time doesn't start until you break the line, you could sit there for 20 seconds and still not affect the time.

10-4 -- makes sense.

 

[SHOnUup]

Those couple RT'S are driving me crazy...one was the car falling on its face with too much brake boost...but the other .3 was my slowness

Other then sound difference and maybe a little under-the-hood eyecandy, it appears an aftermarket intake on this car is pretty much pointless. If there is a slight performance difference it appears to be negligible.

I second that thought. From my dyno results I got +2 AWHP and -4 AWTQ. I do have a whooshing sound, but that too, gets old after a while.

I do want to mention that I would like to see if we can get plastic pipe replacements for the tubing that leads up to the turbo and the charge pipe. I wonder if it is a limitation of the other intake piping, not the intakes themselves......

Agreed.

Fortunately nailed a good 60' with each intake and produced almost identical results.

I wonder how they all perform at a higher mod level though?

Great work on this Rich!  I love seeing real world data!

Thank you.

Real world data is my favorite. Actual results with heat soak on cement vs hood open on rollers.

Congrats to Ford on a quality intake...boo to them on the twisted accordion mess that follows.

That is some cool hardcore data Rich,analysis are pretty even,but at the end the clear winner was you buddy with that 12.42 ET.  Z

Thx buddy. Was a complete blast, helped out by Paul and his buddy being there.

4 of 7 runs in the 12.4's...left a pretty good smile on my face for days

Time slips from the best runs for each.
