mo boost

Intercooler, subframe conectors, a 10# pully swap, maybe swap back to the stock intake manifold.

 

[orange395w]

stock intake manifold.

What's the deal with that?

 

[02gt]

the typhoon manifold that i have sucks balls, when i first started racing at quallcom i was able to cut a 9.07 with cai, exaust, tune, 3.73's and stock suspension. Then i put a the typhoon on i lost a bunch of tq down low. With the short runners on the typhoon they promote high rpm power and it didn't help with the launching and the mph gains.

My car should be making 360 + with the mods that i have and im pretty sure that the manifold is the reason why it only made 355 at ret.

Well you said that you were planning on upping the boost. Usually short runner intakes work better with blower applications. That's a tough one. I would say save your pennies for the TFS intake. Their stuff has always worked badass for me and that intake looks awesome. How many pounds of boost do you see now?
