SL55 airbox + inlets give me 9.5 rwhp & 4.2 rwtq

the SL55 airbox + inlets gave me 9.5 rwhp and 4.2 rwtq no bad for $330

I believe that I do not need to explain too much, you guys just look the charts

:

http://groups.msn.com/Mercedes2003C3...oto&PhotoID=55

A/F ratio:
http://groups.msn.com/Mercedes2003C3...oto&PhotoID=54

Blue: H&S Chip + RENNtech pulley + Full SL55 Intake (Y-pipe, hoses, Airboxs, filters & inlets)
Red: H&S Chip + RENNtech pulley & filters + SL55 Y-pipe & hoses.

It seems that there is a little loss in torque at low rpms but look how the torque performs at high rpms, just awesome, and the hp

I have not tunned my exhaust (just stock) or the IC yet…

nonetheless next week I am going to be working in my 2 mod…IC.
Well, I have a chart with SL55 full intake before and after and I will post it later......so far 10 rwhp & 11 rwtq for $410

All the information is here:

Full SL55 Intake (Y-pipe, hoses, Airboxs, filters & inlets)= $410

SL55 (Y-pipe, hoses) = $80

SL55 (Airboxs, filters & inlets) =$330

prices may change depending dealer.. I have seen people that has paid $200 for SL55 Y-pipe, hoses.

Today is track day, but I can not make it

but my last track day was 8/6/03 with just the SL55 Y-pipe, BMC filters, H&S and RENNtech pulley:

My 1/4 miler here at 5,285fts 91 degree was 14.034 sg @ 101.13 mph, with a bad 2.135 sg 60fts

at 5,285 fts, a M3 smg does 14.6, and stock EVO VIII 14.5, heavy modded (new turbo & huge IC, exhust, etc) WRX 13.9 (no NOS) with 13.5...., Vipers high 13..., CLK43K 14.2....etc.

I will go to the track sure next week,

thanks!

Awesome! I didn't know being only a mile high had that much effect on HP! High 13's for a Viper would probably mean they're seeing a 100-150HP decrease from the altitude!

for more than one source a normaly aspirate engine losses 4% of power for each 1,000 ft.
Turbo engines....here at Colorado I believe 5-6%, I would say 1% or less for each 1,000 ft.
SC....I am not sure yet, nevertheless Brandom at Kleemann USA told me that is like 3% losses for each 1,000 ft, app. here 17-18%
