DIY Dual CAI Tee Splitter FOUND
Re: DIY Dual CAI Tee Splitter FOUND
Colder doesn't mean faster either, more spinning **** and boost in the supercharger makes it faster. Which makes it hotter, which makes it need a cooldown, which is what the intercooler is for. If I was to install a Meth injection system into my y pipe then yes, that would mean colder is faster because the cold oxygen is smaller therefore more air and go into the firing chamber and cause bigger hotter explosions, since fire needs air...
But we aren't talking a typical intake. This is the supercharger intake. Afaik all the intake does is INCREASE flow. The hp gains merely come from creating less vaccuum which works the supercharger more to keep the air suction.
But I'm definately not an expert. I'm not here to argue or "take over the intake market".
I just didn't want a front mount intake and I also disn't want to pay 800$ for a coupler...
Hope yall enjoy

The way I see it.. you spent a minimal amount for an increase in HP. Kinda closes the case. I've gotten poked at for the "cheapness" of my mods.. I don't buy 120 dollar steak dinners when Lonestar will serve up two fine steak dinners for 50 bucks. They both make a turd when it's all said and done..
Congratulations or your success and innovation !!!
BTW, just a suggestion, but a cheap way to monitor IAT's and many other parameters is the UltraGuage.
I have no affiliation with them, but I have had one for about a year now, and love it !
UltraGauge Automotive Information Center and OBDII Scan Tool

It's really not all that complicated. 900$ for an intake is some bull. Period. No point intrying to argue with me how much I'm missing out either because I would rather put that money into a better sc pulley, larger intercooler or even a meth kit.
Also, to do front mount, i forgot, 90$ kit shipped to move the vaccuum line out of the way.... More pointless money wasting. How much are the filters? Seriously. People waste money on some oretty dumb stuff imo. I try to save my money as much as possible!!!

That's why idle temps are higher by the way....
Your radiator isn't getting cooled off.....
Your engine is getting hot.
Your intercooler isn't getting cooled off, your supercharger isn't even sucking in any air at idle. You don't open up the throttle body until you hit the gas. Throw on an intake. That Sffff suction sound is the throttle body opening
up.
I assure you it has nothing to do with the fact that "ambient air isn't blowing at your filters... Your super charger SUCKS air as it creates a vaccuum within itself.... It's not forced air induction or "Ram Air".
What books?

Re: DIY Dual CAI Tee Splitter FOUND
It's all relative in peoples minds.. "you" wasted your money per some peoples standards..
The V-8 swap club see's srt6 mods as a waste.
The 10 second racer see the SRT6 with anything in it a waste.
Like it was stated in another post "I see why people don't openly disclose their mods".
But once again I do thank you for your footwork and sharing.. I'll sit at your table and have a beer with you and discuss how we gave up 10 horsepower for not having spent that extra 2 grand.. LOL.

I was merely providing facts. For those that obviously have things completely wrong inside of there heads..
Never once said anything bad about the functionality of the needswings intake. For 900$ it damn well better work...
Obviously too many drunken nights at "The Dragon" has your buttholes all puckered up for needswings. That's fine, massage his e-peen, but do it privately without tryin to bash me or damn right I'm gonna defend myself.
I found a way cheaper way to achieve exactly what an intake is meant to do. You guys can be all fabulous and shiny with your name brand that nobody but you about.
But don't try to Talk smack just because some of us aren't "smart enough" to pay a 1600% marked up coupler. Seriously. Get off my thread fanboys. Go rub eachother "the wrong way" somewhere else please.
