yeah I went to my shop to install the intakes Saturday and put everything back together only to find out I couldn't get it tuned. So I had to put stock air boxes back on. I left the elbow pipes and filters behind the grill so I didn't have to remove the bumper.
now my intake temps run a bit warmer than usual especially while idling due to the fact that the fresh air duct port (the one you drill to bigger to fit the coupler) is being blocked.

Nice. I like how the RZG intakes have a much shorter silicone coupler that goes through the radiator support area.
does the rzg intakes utilize clamps for the silicone couplers?

Oooo I do like how there is a smaller coupler. These might have just replaced my future mod of Admin intakes. Interested to see how it all fits together with those velocity stacks.

This is a nice build.
One thing that has been confusing me has been those dynos. So when you switched to the shorter gears it lost power overall? Did you try playing around with which gear you did your runs in to see if that would change the outcome or what happened? 5th&6th gear? i have seen cars down in 3rd gear vs the 1:1 4th and make a lower hp&tq number which is why i ask. Also if that is just the case, even though rear end gears have nothing to do with the engine output but are they creating more parasitic loss on the entire drivetrain? Every dyno is different, i completely understand but the level of modification of your car vs mine and im only making 5whp less untuned. I'm just curious about it i sure you have discussed it in another thread but what's your take on it?

um. Your comparing your dyno numbers to his and claim you are 5whp less untuned.
did it ever occur to you that unless you two dynod your vehicle at the same shop than comparing numbers is pointless?
all dynos will vary from another.
there's mustang dynos, dyno jet, dyno dynamics, dynapack and a few others.
they all read differently from one another.
hell even 2 dyno jets will read differently depending on the weight of the drum the shop decided to go with. 3000lb or 5000lb drum.
Correction factor, temperature, humidity, altitude. So many variables.
so you comparing your numbers to his is pointless

Lol i already said i understand that every dyno is different read my post.

Mustang dyno read low, dyno jets read high everything else is in between is the general rule of thumb. We typically go by dynojet numbers as enthusiast because higher numbers just sound better to us. i just noted those numbers. My car was dyno'd on a dynojet. However his own signature says his car makes 10whp less on the 4.08 gears. That being said, did he dyno on the same dyno in similar conditions? This is why i was asking did he play around with which gear he was in and what is his take on it. By no means am i trying to put his car down. Reason being i am considering doing gears on my car. So just relax my friend let him post. Judging by your post everything else you say is probably going to be counter productive at this point and turn into a **** measuring contest where we are just trying to one-up each other, so lets skip the BS. kthxbye

Me and a friend both got our cars tuned by the same tuner. Admin tuning.
My friends car made 316whp on the dyno jet that admin tuning uses in Houston.
I got my vehicle remote tuned and dynod it at a performance shop in dallas that also uses a dyno jet and only made 305whp.
From 60-145 we were literally door to door side by side the entire time. Not even 1/2 a car length difference
Sorry I forgot to mention his car has stock 3.3 gears, removed front passenger seat, emptied trunk.
My car full interior, +100lb sound system in trunk.

if i switch back to 3.3 gears i would be in the somewhere close or in the 330whp..i might switch back to stock gears after Cam install just to see the numbers..
Dyno's are just used to measure the power between mods.. real numbers come from the drag strip which i will hit up end of year
