***AREA-51 content maybe HAZARDOUS***:tumble:




Yes.. CAI will be painted matching Matte Blk. Just had some free time to test out future ANARCHY M1 kit paint designs, also intercoolers are just stock smaller variety but will soon be upgraded..

I'm 110% goin w/Marcin & SpeeDriven, Bruce @ TTM had this set made for Clayton but h
e couldn't install it & gave it back
to TTM.. Then Bruce gave them
to me & In trade I made TTM a
thread w/install & pix/video, I
coined the alternate
nomenclature Velocity-Raptor
for TTM..

Actually the "Scorpions" were invented
by Vadim, then passed onto Marcin/SpeeDriven, I'll be hopefuly debuting the Bigboy-Kit @ Sema this Nov, featuring SpeeDrivens largest GT3582r Turbos & new SS
manifolds/dwn-pipes/larger
Intercoolers & latest ECU/TCU files..

(This CAI from Bruce, was originally fabbed on an S65, but they're all pretty much the same ie it'll fit ANY 600/65 S/CL/SL models respectively)

Simple flat-head screw driver, & strength to open a jar a Pickles is all that's required for install

Sorry I missed ur post.. Depending on Dyno used & other myriad of variables ie.. boatload of ice in IC reservoir + ms 109 mix on DynoJet netted best results so far 633 rwhp..

This particular DJ isn't fluffy I used it from begining when 100% stock made 445-450 rwhp which is right in line w/every other 600 v12tt Stock on
properly set DynoJet etc..
