We'll start this out with the out of the box review and then go from there. I won't be heading out to the dyno for a new tune until I get my new Kooks O/R lead pipes, so this is gonna be a two (or maybe three) part review. Once I get the new lead pipes here, I'll run down to the shop and strap her in for a baseline to see what the TB/Plenum did on their own. Then I'll bolt in the new leads and let my boy play computer games to see what we can get out of it with new rules to follow. :rolling:
Hopefully shortly after that, I can get a descent night off to get her down Atco and see what the real important numbers say. As anyone that knows me will already know, this could take a while for all this to get done, but I will make every effort to get it done next week. My schedule is stupid.
Anyway enough bla, bla; more bling, bling!
Bidness end, and she's all bidness...
She gotta great ass too...
The guts, nuttin really that cool to look at, but I figured why not...
Like a massive bong for my blower
The plenum is stupid big. I didn't even know it could be this big; it doesn't seem logical that there is this much room to be this much bigger and still fit.
Here's the plenum bolted up to the blower. As you can see, it mates up almost perfectly. I'm sure I could have picked up a little bit more air flow by porting the inlet slightly to match the plenum perfectly, but I didn't feel like taking the blower off and I really don't think I'm moving enough air for it to matter. I'm not running a lower so the blower's not really working all that hard to begin with. If I do decide to go lower next season, I'll probably take the bower off and send it Blwn04SVTCobra for some porting (I'll probably do this regardless as it was supposed to be done this season).
On a side note, I found out what was keeping from getting into the 10's last year... Seems I sucked up a small child when I put the BPS 2.39 upper on last year. Now that I cleared that mess out of there, 10's on 20's is a no brainer! ;-)
I'll update this bad boy as soon as I get the lead pipes and get on the rollers. Hopefully early next week!
