Review: AAM Competition Cold Air Intakes S-Line/R-Line

smooth · 09-14-2016, 09:19 PM

I have had this set up for about 2 years now. I only had 1 hick up. And to be honest I have been to busy to investigate to see was the true of the problem was. I have not had the car tuned yet just a few bolt on and at the Z nationals 2 years ago I dynoed 319. I don't know if that's was good or bad.

I installed these intakes around the end of May this season, also did the FI TDX exhaust + FI HFC.

Took the car in for an ECUTek tune here in Utah (FNP Tuning) and can tell you the car is a little more picky about the MAF readings due to the larger internal diameter.

I'll also tell you that it was totally worth it; I'm at 3400 ft elevation so the more airflow the better. Car put down 289 rwhp on a mustang dyno and runs beautifully.

I put the same numbers down untuned in KC with a catback only. Altitude is a real killer.

What do you mean when you say the MAFs are picky? Hiccups on WOT?

Yeah, altitude has its draw backs but canyon runs in October quite enjoyable.

It was actually going into the throttle out of first gear that was the problem. Under 2.5k, there was noticeable hesitation because the ECU thought it was getting too much air; lucky my tuner is a stud and fixed the issue without any grief.

WOT > 2.5k RPM and the car would sing. Basically the car would get super pissed off if I drove it conservatively.

No issues to speak of currently.

Are you saying that part throttle response and full throttle response are both smooth and linear now that your tuner has adjusted the MAF tables?
