[QUOTE="Kwik03DSG, post: 12061821, member: 112680"] What intake+MAF combo are you guys running with your various setups? Also if you are using the stock intake/MAF or comparable, how much boost are you running and how much power are you making? I had an issue with a tuner (who will not be named at this time) who basically said my setup was "stupid," and that i am an "idiot" for having a JLT Ram Air intake utilizing a stock 90 mm MAF w/ Diablo mafia. I am aware that it is a point restriction, however I believe that the severity of the said restriction is being quite a bit overstated... My setup is as follows: 2.9 whipple (standard inlet of course) JLT ram air intake as previously mentioned 4.75L (290ci) MMR 1000 motor, 8.5:1 comp ported heads w/Ford GT cams Ported lower intake ARH 1 3/4" headers with 3-2.5" x-pipe 3.5" pulley (Reichard Racing 2.8" pulley is on hand but not on the car...yet) 2lb lower Lethal return with 105 lb injectors for E85 This guy also said if I insist on using the intake, that I might as well "find another tuner". He steadfastly refuses to touch the car unless I buy the JLT High Boost intake with the required BA2600/BA3000, which is an additional 500 bucks... Can you all chime in with your respective setups, and wiegh in on whether my use of the ram air is as "stupid" as was indicated? I do intend to go with the Crusher intake, but $3k with install and retune is not in the cards until November or December, and I am NOT waiting until then to have the car tuned to drive it. Thanks all of you in advance for your respective inputs [/QUOTE]
