[QUOTE="sluggish94, post: 1478845, member: 25015"] I also put together this contraption here for less than 1/3 of what a BBK unit costs and that's including a brand new ACT sensor. [ATTACH=full]8239[/ATTACH] I'd call this version 1.0 (unwelded) [ATTACH=full]8240[/ATTACH] The ACT sensor bung and PCV bung did get welded on there before I actually drove around with it. I ended up throwing some different couplers I had laying around to route it in a way that the filter ends up right by the bottom corner of the bumper to draw in the most dense air as possible, instead of in the wheel well behind the headlight. Because of the little accident I couldn't take it to the dyno November 11th how I had hoped, but when I take it back I'll be strapping it down with this contraption here to try and make another 1-2hp or something (pre-body work picture here, was getting ready for dyno) [ATTACH=full]8241[/ATTACH] A velocity stack is proven to increase airflow. A more direct inlet path has to be beneficial. An increase in intake runner length changes how the air enters the engine, therefore changing the dynamics of the power curve. Will this hold true with the inlet tube as well? Maybe I will do a run with the normal cold air that I run on the street, another with the long tube + velocity stack inlet, and another with a short tube + velocity stack inlet. I extended the nitrous solenoid to nozzle line, installed a Steeda Shock Tower Brace, and I have a Steeda Air Bag kit going on this car as well. Last thing is I swapped out the jets to 35 nitrous/17 fuel, which equates to a "50 shot" according to Nitrous Express. This car has proven to like the bottle and with the new nitrous line and the larger jets it really gets up there. It's been a lot of fun so far. Thanks for reading, and thanks for looking at my build thread. [/QUOTE]
