K&N Air Intake Horsepower

matt5112 said:
We have an FAQ... but no one reads it. :th_jester:

Dyno a stock car and show me the gains.

Better yet, why does anyone car how much power it makes? The only time power matters is when it comes time to brag to your buddies how "fast" your car is.

Go to the track and get some "fast" times and let the slips do the talking.

10 WHP can easily be negligible if you need the driver mod so again, why does ANYONE care?

where your faq's that a stock car only picks up a few horses from an intake???? huh, you talking about me show you, YOU SHOW ME THIS INFO if its so true????

cause you probably dont have it. i said i belive it, i did not say i have it.

maybe you dont care how much power it makes, but maybe someone else does :th_thumbsup-wink: just because you dont care does not mean you should be a dick about what they care about.

again a bunch of women on here, just because someone does not agree with you yall get yalls panties all twisted.

if a guy wants to know something then the guy wants to know something. who cares if you dont want to know it, they dident ask if you did care.

again people come in posting there optinions about stuff but never give out faqs.

Show my a dyno sheet NOT from K&N of just an intake car making 11+ more WHEEL horsepower. Seriously.

show me dyno sheet where a car only picked up 1 hp. seriously.

i said i can belive it. and thats it, if you dont belive it, thats cool.

but you dont have dyno sheets either probably not, so who is to say your so right??? so to call others dumb in thinking so is being a hypicrite cause all your doing is going off your guess.

My point is your points are negligible because most people don't know how to drive.

Again, you can debate different intakes, but debating the increase in power from one specific one is useless.

It may satisfy ones curiosity, but wouldn't you rather try running at the strip with/without and see if it makes a difference? Oh thats right... your times will vary based on your own skill.

You can own a 2000 HP drag car but only post 10's if you don't know how to drive.

What matters more: Making more power than the other guy, or being faster than the other guy?
 
the orgianl topic was how much hp is possible with the K&N.


nobody brought up racing.


again thats how YOU see it, now what they were asking.


i agree with you, but its not what they asked.

This is still how I'd answer the question though. :D

"how much power will I gain from a TB spacer"

Hmm.... I wonder.... :th_jester:
 
well that fine, hell i would even tell them to go get it dynoed them self and see.

but to argue over how much an intake will make, one says 1, the other says 10.

no body has actuall dyno proof, but yet they argue with each other. how do you know your so right with no proof?????

thats just moronic.

That it is.

Consider that different cars will make different amount of power with the same mods then this whole argument is even more useless.

again, get time slips. :th_thumbsup-wink:

very valid point. but nobody metions that. they rather argue with each other and not give out any kind of logic info..............

If you honestly believe that an intake nets anywhere over 10 horsepower to the wheels on these cars...go back to page 1 and read what I said. It's like saying you can run knock free on a 3.4" with a 160* T-Stat and AL103's. It is common sense. I'm not "being a hypocrite" I'm tellin you how it is. You tune...you should know.
 


bluegtp91 said:
LOL if you think that just a K&N drop in with a gutted airbox netted you 9 WHEEL HORSEPOWER. You probably had a really crappy clogged up filter to begin with.

As for the K&N...for the money...its junk. You can take it off and make your own and make MORE power...for more than half the price. I'd tell you a WAY better way to make power for $300 or so...its called methanol injection, a tune, and a smaller pulley...I bet you'd get 25 WHEEL Horsepower. Stick that in K&N or ZZP's pipe and smoke it.

what this????

yea those things will make power too, but it does not have anything to do with the intake.

someone said they made 9hp on the dyno after an intake. from the stock air box, to an open cone, im sure i could knock .2ths if not more off my 1/4 mile time. that is probably somewhere between 9-10whp. maybe when i do get on a dyno i can clarify all of this but i cant now. but at the same time nobody has any proof that it only picks up 4-5hp. so some guesses it puts out about 10, someone guess it puts out about 5. but NOBODY knows. and to say your right and there dumb because that is what you guess, yea its being hypicritical. why is there guess not right???
 
this is so funny, i can't wait till i have atleast 3000 post . then maybe someone will take my experience as an option..dyno test are out there if u look. i am more willing to believe a dyno sheet than one guys opinion that has done 1 cam swap. **** guys, pushrod engines have been around forever, u think because u did a tune with a tuner that you;ve actually built an engine. Quit being pu$$ies---this site is merely different guys opinions. ur's doesn't carry anymore weight than others...not busting on anyone, we all can learn new stuff from each other.just beacuse u can't doit, doesn't mean that i can't..opinions are like ass holes, everybody has one so stay outta mine!!!! luv u guys!
 
K&N or not, an intake will net you about 2whp. Unless it's a ****ty 2.5in. ebay intake, expect about 1/2hp. It's that simple. For the most part it's just a supporting mod for bigger things. You can build your own for $60, or pay K&N $250 for the same exact thing with a K&N sticker on it. I chose the first option, but it's up to you. Btw, for that much you can get modded rockers which will net you about 20-25hp instead of 2.

really??? explain why its so simple then????

like said im almost positive i could pick up atleast .2ths in the 1/4 from going from a stock intake to an open cone. that is more than 2whp.

again you have no FAQ'S.

fail, try again.
 
FFS

DRIVER MOD.

TIRES.

and a million other factors make this entire discussion useless.

Focus on things that actually make a difference in the performance of your car.
