Off to the dyno tomorrow to establish a baseline first.
Baseline is 319hp/342tq. Mustang Dyno, engine temp 225 with a closed hood. I will put on the mopar intake this afternoon, and will take it back to the dyno to see what it will produce.
My plan is to install the CAI only and then dyno - thus identifying if there are any real gains to be had from the mopar version.
Okay folks, Mopar CAI numbers are in. Keep in mind, all dynos have degrees of variance between them, as well as SAE v Smoothing, and weather factors. Since I used the same dyno with a single mod added, I hope this gives a good indicator of what this particular CAI can do.
Run #1: Closed hood, drove it right off the street and on the rollers and strapped it down. Run started 10 minutes later.
327hp/354tq. That's a gain of 8/12.
Run #2: Open hood, engine was off for 15 minutes. The dyno operator placed some fans at the front of the car. 351hp/386tq. That's a gain of 32/44, but unrealistic with the open hood, so I'm not going to brag that I added 32 horsepower.
I did get a check engine light after run #2, will investigate that later.
Then I'll do the corsa exhaust install. The idea is to keep the stock airbox in the car, and dyno the exhaust with the factory box. This way I can isolate each component and validate if there are any gains.
Once those dynos are done, I will put the CAI back on, drive down the street to Dodge, and have them install the scat pack PCM.
Final dyno will have the entire sp1 installed (except the 'high performance' oil filter) to see the package numbers.
Stay tuned!
