Tried to post the image again. Can anyone help me here? I put in the link to the photo wrapped in the [IMG] tags to no avail!

Nice gains. Thanks for the dyno. Also, seems like the car rev'd passed 8k rpm?

wow just wow! makes me wanna order the STILLENS ASAP.

RPM calibration was not 100%. RPM cut on all pulls was 7500.

Coaster: thanks for putting up the chart. How did you do that? I'm a photographer and very experienced in digital imaging but could not make that work. Very frustrating.

looks like stillen CAI gave you most of your gains. thx for sharing

was the bumper off when the stillens were dyno'd?

What generation stillen intakes

I opted for the G2 CAI so the bumper wasn't off. I elected to go for the reduced maintenance hassles. I think that the total gain is more evenly divided between the two bolt ons than the dyno results indicate. The improved pumping efficiency resultant from back pressure reductions on both sides allowed the engine to breath. Had I installed the CAI first and the CBE second the results would have been the opposite. Stillen's dynos results show only 1.5hp increase in max hp and 9 hp in midrange, far below my total numbers.
Most important for everyone to see is that by improving pumping efficiency on only one side of the motor does not allow this wonderful engine to really sing. You need to improve both intake and exhaust to realize major gains.

I think the mistake you were making was wrapping the picture in [IMG]...[IMG] when you missed just one little backwards slash as it should be [IMG]...[/IMG]

I did the tags correctly. Linked to my pbase site. didn't work though.

To clarify you have the Stillen Gen 3 CAI and not the Gen 2 right? I would think the Gen 2 are easy to maintain than the Gen 3.

Very Impressive Gains...

Dsphoto 10-08-2010 04:30 AM

Typo. Sorry. I have the g2

Why is that ?

The gen 3 mounts the air filters behind the bumper while the gen2 mounts inside the engine compartment. No need to remove the front bump to clean the filters.
