Adjustable Individual cylinder compensation is a MUST

Sorry, man... couldn't resist that. Would appreciate a link to my site next time... http://www.the-arnolds.net/Cobra/969-motor-1a.jpg

The 4" AFM power pipe combined with a 105mm Accufab and 80mm Pro-M supported 550 rwhp naturally aspirated on my 347 this year. We will be trying a 5" diameter this winter.

So what does everyone think of the setup?

Its ok man....was waiting to see what everyone said before I link it to the videos :D Fixed it..........link to site above

Eh its just so-so Marc...lol :)

Curious to see how the 5" works for you. I'll keep on brian with the results.

Why?

We used a setup like that last year and found out (N/A & Nitrous) the air distribution is not good at all.

[SwillRacer]

I'm thinking you better really wind up your motor cuz you won't have much power in the lower rpms

[Redsnk95]

Oh Marc will turn that thing around 8700rpms probably if not more.

Don't you want as straight a shot as you can get,.. esp. on a n/a car ??? :confused:

[AutomaticWeapon]

Looks aweful (sorry), straight shot as possible to the t/b is the way to fly.

Yours looks like a country mile.

Let me first say that I'm not interested in getting in to a urination contest.:)

If the pipe assembly flows more than either the mass air or throttle body, what difference does it make what the shape is? None.

Here's food for thought. I've heard the arguements from those who contend they have done the straight tube and picked up power. I've even seen it happen. What these folks fail to realize is that the tune changed at the same time with regards to the air/fuel. This change in air/fuel is caused by a difference in the way the air is pulled through the mass air meter. If you match the air/fuel ratio's by compensating in the tune up, you would find that the power that was miraculously made by this straight tube was in fact due to the original tune up not being maximized. Ok, I'm done now.;)

Happy New Year Everyone!

:cool: what the heck do you know brian,the answer is whoever has the biggest tube wins,preferably the straiter the better,but unfortanately my product has a left curve thing going on,but she likes it.

just out of personal curiousity and wanting to learn something....what is the diference in the way air is pulled through between the straight tube and the power pipe??? does the mass air think its more air because its coming past it at a faster rate because it is travelling in a straight line? versus the power pipe the air is going through curves?


just realized this post is over 3 weeks old...didnt mean to bring it back up if it's considered "old news", just wanted to learn something
