2014+ Intakes (CAI) & Air Filters

[dvzzz]

Thanks. Do you have a link to the results? I have been looking for data everywhere, I heard that it was good but Blackbear Performance told me that that Airaid Jr had zero impact on performance during their dyno tests of CAIs.

The Dyno results are very good with the stock OEM Airbox with a K&N drop-in filter and the Airaid MIT.

It use to be here

From BB study and per the conversation with them, Airaid MIT (now Jr) there is no discernible difference with stock unless I am misreading the data

 

Data from BlackBearPerformance.com site.

it's not showing the MIT & K&N drop-in data any longer...it's just showing the stock OEM set-up

[dvzzz]

OK, now I get it, so this is stock filter with Airaid MIT but there used to be with K&N drop-in. Now I understand.

the Air Raid JR works great, the reason there is no improvements is because there is a restrictor panel inside the OEM airbox next to the fender, so airflow will not jump up unless you pop this piece out.

American Trucks did a video showing the gains from an AirRaid MIT only on a 14 Silverado. Seemed to make a small difference. I am probably going to throw one on and keep my paper filter.

at the 6 minute mark the moron kid, sprays lubricant oil on the MAF sensor. insane... how did they get 20 hp? lol everyones a sales man these days

it isnt 20hp to the wheels it is from the curve gain

[flyingfool]

what's curve gain?

He explains it around the 0:45 sec mark of the video. Basically it's the gains in efficiency showing up with better throttle response, better acceleration. Since the top end HP doesnt change much just from the tube, this will be the difference you feel. It is the highlighted area in this picture.

when i get free time I can data log the intake manifold pressure and the MAF sensor, before and after.. with the stock vs the Air aid JR.  vs restrictor panel removed , then swap in a 6.2 TB and 6.2  manifold.  would make for a cool thread here one day

Dyno, otherwise you've got nothing.

There's no indication of what dyno it was, correction factor etc. They fabricated that chart

[flyingfool]

just datalog the cfm on the maf sensor, no dyno necessary
