Sat went to track with new tires but didnt run good 14.39 @ 97.12 dyno car tues. HP 224 & Torque was 187 car was laying for four months with out being run ,cleaned intake & T/B changed plugs redyno HP 235.5 & Torque 195.9 hope to get back to track sat or sun. between rain.

 

can canging the plugs make that big of a difference

 

Hey any chance you could ask the tech at the shop about those bushings? I was on a business trip the day you were there and said to call and I forgot

 

i think it was the combination of cleaning the intake/TB and changing plugs.

a dirty air filter can be very HP consuming.

 

My intake and T/B were gummed up from sitting so long.Will see when i get to the track sat. or sun will keep you posted.

try for 13.9 john

 

man, i need to clean mine, what a bitch. how do i do it? its the AEM cone filter

 

same here, i haven't cleaned my intake in about a year

 

usually they recommend cleaning the filter every oil change for best performance, but you can get away with doing it every other oil change if you wanted to. but one whole year!??! damn, i hope you don't drive too much.

 

haha...yea, my job is less than 10 mins away and school is another 5 mins so I don't do much driving. The rest oft he time I use my wife's car. YEa, I prob should've cleaned it when I was taking off my headers. I'm lazy

I Would be glad to just run 14.1@99MPH.
I think you will see 13.9 before me, do you still have the new ECU?

havent cleaned mine in more than a year, its an aem intake filter, it should be cleaned at 25,000 miles according to aem.

 

the service period for K&N filters is a lot different than comptech's foam filter.

 

I didnt make my self clear enough, I not only cleaned the aif filter but took intake off and T/B
Intake also includes vavle covers I had a oil built up ,This take about two hours to do.

HI John!! Good luck at the track, my car is put away for the winter. I'll call you soon.

most auto parts stores sell k&n filter cleaning kit it only like 15 bucks. you take it off the intake hose it down really good with the filter cleaner on it and then you let it dry and spray the filter oil on it.
