I felt that my draw threw ARC-2 with the STOCK rubber "Y" that the mass pushes into going to 2.5" intake pipes were realy holding me back, so I decided to test it.
I had come up with a new cam grind that falls in between my street and race grinds and thy had been sitting here waiting for me to test out. So I desided to install them and see if the power still flattened out right around 950hp like it was with the street cams.
My 1st Dyno pull was with nothing changed other then the cams. (and that it was 100deg this day in the Dyno room VS 85 deg the last time, and I now have nelson's Oil pump gears installed). The car made slightly more peek hp (963 vs 955) but it was just a blip, the lines prity much traced each other after peek power you could not even tell the lines apart.
So Next I pulled off the Air filter (even knowing that for sure the pipes, and the Y were going to be way more restrive then the filter was) and it made slightly more HP at 971 after getting the tune right for the Filter not being on the MAS (anybody that has ever pulled a filter off a Hot wire MAS knows it changes the tune) So the filter was a slight restriction, but the big one is still to be removed. It still amases me that the stock rubber "Y" that the MAS pushes into can even suport 971 hp, seeing how it was designed to only what 240 at the wheels?
OK time to try and set the ARC-2 up blow threw..... stay tuned
