Yeah, it did. With the Steeda intake (and any other brand intake) that flows significantly more air than stock you really gain a lot of power up top. The car pulls hard to redline.

Just curious what is "safe"...seen guys at 7750 on regular 5.0s that seem to work....then again, I revved a stroked f20 to 11k hundreds of times with no issues, other guys blow em up with one rev to 9500....
I guess the 7300 limit you run sounds like a good compromise. Plus if your engine blows up, I can lower mind.  |
Yeah, I have seen people running 7500+ but they are more serious racers and don't really care if they blow it up.
I think 7300 is a good compromise.
