[Eric Smit]

I just want to see how much I lost. ; P

If you had the Injen intake it would be a good deal of power and torque above 3500.... Good thing you didn't waste your money on that thing. It "looks cool" though! Can't beat form over function.

 

[Eric Smit]

I'd rather make sweet love to a meat grinder than have that on my car.

Functions way sexier. F-1, lemans, Ferrari. Purpose built front splitters, diffusers, because rally cars, because race car. They look awesome and they don't have a polished snake choking on a filter under the hood.

Just saying

 

[Eric Smit]

Agreed.

I was just thinking, how much power would a sonic make on the dyno if it were lowere 2 or 3 inches?

Would it be as much as a tuned 1.4??

I mean that mod is way more sensical than some of the other ones ppl are doing!

 

[rdss]

A three inch drop on a sonic on the dyno has to be worth at least 100 HP. The car is closer to the rollers making more power.

 

[sx sonic]

Oh okay awesome, I know that if you can get the front deflector to scrape when gettin on the rollers your at maximum power. I'm thinking about putting on another 30lbs of wheel weight. I think with all that I should run 14s in the quater, might beat stratton

 

[rdss]

Good call, I forgot abut heavier wheels. It's a known fact that increasing unsprung weight helps move the roller better...........

 

[Eric Smit]

Don't forget, I have really dark tinted windows too! Keeps the UV rays out of my car, therefore my car is lighter!

adding a few racing stickers gives you an extra 15 hp

 

[rdss]

That's common knowledge and I think it's down to 10 HP because of availability....

 

[SonicMan]

Be the first to put huge dragon stickers running along each side of your car, you would be the first and only

 

[Eric Smit]

Depending on the size, could be 50HP per side!

We got some great ideas going on guys!!! We should rename this thread "The Car Guys Guide to Going Fast"

Another member and I are getting an extra 50 HP by mixing Shell V-Power and Chevron with Techron which gives this car V-Tech. If you thought a tuned 1.4 hit hard at 3000 then quadruple that and you know what this mod is like

Damn I did not even know about v tech trick with chevron techron and shell v-power.
Its how Nissan gets nismo.... Nissan and motorsports
So what does Honda get with motorsports?


That's some cool stuff right there

What I don't understand is why people want intakes to be loud. The louder it is the more restrictive it is! Those whooshing sounds racers love is the sound of air moving through restrictions. Take a deep breath and exhale rapidly through your lips barely spread apart. Then repeat with your mouth wide open. Common sense, people.

most companies go way out of there way to quiet an engine down and make everything less noisy all around.
a cheap way to quiet a car down is to add restrictions to the intake and add baffles and add tubes or anything you want to call it to distract the flow of air, slow it down, and make everything silent.

those usually end up making things less powerful and less efficient.

the rest is just personal preference. my g35 i wanted silent, my harley i dont

Does anybody want a Harley quiet?
