I think maybe you put that in just for me ! :icon18:

Super write up ! Great pics ! THANKS for taking the time to capture all the data and post !... I think we all have our validation that these are the ones to get... I'll be pretty dang surprised if we see anything better

RCZ 03-28-2009 12:00 AM
hehe, it wasn't, but it fits rather well :)

RCZ... Well done Sir!! This is excellent and most encouraging news. Not to mention this thing sound HAWT!!!

I know it has been covered before, but I must ask... Are we SURE this will not cause further cooling issues with the partial blockage of the radiator with the bumper on??

Josh feel free to chime in on that also...

Well done RCZ - thats funny, I seem to remember a discussion where I was saying something to the tune of 310 WHP with a top quality I/H/E setup and you agreed with it....hmmmmmm, eh? :)

As long as they're not placed in some wierd low-pressure area, they'll pull in whatever air they need just fine. The important thing is that the air they have available to suck is cold (relatively speaking). They look fine to me from a water perspective as well, assuming you don't do something stupid like ram a garden hose nozzle up under your intake grille and try to kill them.
Still, it'd be nice to know for sure rather than suspecting. I mean, they were on the dyno, the bumper was probably sitting a few feet away... would have been nice for them to slip it on and see if there's a difference.

*sigh*....

He's my RL friend.

He also has a sense of humor. You, apparently, do not.

I do, and my post was a joke.. A lot of haters in the forum and an awful lot of people with no Z that like to make comments.

Very true. He's not one, though. And the point is fairly valid, I'd have probably dyno-ed with the bumper on just to close off any loose ends. But, Im sure, RCZ will baseline it again once he goes to do his exhaust.

And why does someone need to have a Z to make a comment about dyno tuning with a bumper on, anyway? heh. Or was that simply saying that people without Z's or much knowledge about cars in general like to come on here and make blanket statements?

FWIW, I'll be doing my dyno with the bumper cover on, not off. I'm going to see if they can fit me in on Monday. Of course, I have a different exhaust setup than RCZ, so it's not going to directly answer the question of whether or not he'd have seen the same gain had he put the bumper cover back on prior to the post-install dyno. But it'll at least give us some contrasting/corroborating numbers.

semtex 03-28-2009 10:27 AM
Hey RCZ, have you noticed any change in the interior sound from the intakes? I haven't noticed anything significant from mine, but I suspect that's because any change from the intakes is being drowned out by the sound from my Stillen exhaust / Berk HFCs.

RCZ is running just stock exhaust, is he not?

I believe so, yes. I think he plans to go with the Stillen/Berk setup like mine for the exhaust. Not sure when, though. Hopefully, at some point in the not too distant future our cars will have the exact same setup (which is where we're headed), then it'd be REALLY interesting to compare our dyno numbers and see if there are any major variances.

Agreed. The Stillen exhaust is what I have my eyes on myself, so i'll be VERY interested in seeing your results. Will you be using a Mustang dyno, also?
