It's 5/8" and I liked the throaty sound it gave the car after installing it. I now have a Kinetix manifold, so it's just been in the garage on a shelf since then. Was going to sell it eventually, but it would be good to see what kind of dyno power it makes.

*As for who was asking about the air filtering for the ITB's, they make individual socks for each one. Many online stores that sell autocross parts offer them.

Ok cool, then I guess it'll end up in the classifieds soon.

I also have a nice 250HP Nitrous System you can try out on there, I'm sure you'll get some decent dyno numbers with it! (For a pull or two on the dyno that is ) J/K Good luck with the testing!

I would be interested in helping out with this. I can get you on an AWD Mustang dyno for a $25 strap fee plus $15 per pull, or $85 an hour, whichever is cheaper. We can switch parts between pulls right there on the dyno. I can also bring my camera/tripod to record the pulls if you don't have one. The shop I use with the dyno is over by Keller in Fort Worth, and has no problems doing it at night when its cool.

We can even try my unpolished revup lower plenum if you want.

I dunno if anyone has suggested this or not but when you do this test try to keep the air temp on a same level.

Maybe even putting a little digital meeter on an intake to monitor the air temp.

If you where in SFL I'd lend you what I have which covers about half of what you need. In for the results. What dyno will you be using?
