::Edelbrock race B-pipe write-up!!! Pictures Inside::

[Batlground]

I took it out last night to south side... for my friend and all ... and I have never driven anything to pull so hard from 6.5 to redline. When Vtec kicks in, its a monter, but around 6.5k to 7k it starts pulling even harder with the 3 inch B-pipe. All in all, after a retune, it should dyno around 190-210 whp.

And again, that car wont make anywhere near those numbers with a stock Throttle BOdy and stock intake manifold.

What it looks like you did was take off a bottom piece of the header, drop the exhaust, bolt on a turn down, and drove it around.

I dont see any credible evidence of any power gains. The car is going to SEEM faster because its ungodly loud now. Its also got no backpressure so its going to seem like it breaths better in the top end.

Furthermore, to say that the car will dyno 190-210whp, you do know thats a 20 whp variance, right. Thats a HUGE margin.

Im not trying to pick on you, but to do a real informative comparison you should do a dyno comparison of a before and after. Show HP gains. Because right now all you did was make the car louder.

Im very picky about stuff that gets posted, especially stuff like this because it can lead people in the wrong direction and give off the wrong impression. To quote a BIG dyno number like you are, and to talk about how much power you think it makes gives people the wrong idea. its false info with no evidence.

So, again, im not picking on you, im not attacking you, im merely saying do some real testing and post the results, id like to see them. But dont think because the car is louder that it is making tons more power.

FYI, i drove around open header with a $800 ANR header for 1.5 years, ask BTLFED so i know

Like I said before, I appreciate the input, but I never gave you a base hp reading, so I'm not claiming that the header+downpipe setup is going to give me 20 hp. That would be rediculous.

And for what I have in my motor, plus that exhaust I think that the 200whp shouldn't be that far out of grasp.

And I never said that because the is louder that it should be faster. I have been running open header for a little over a month now, so it's not like the car is louder. If anything this is quiter than my GSR open header. I felt a noticable difference with the b-pipe.

Within the next month, I will be getting the car tuned and dynod, so hopefully I can see where I'm at. I havent decided to got to you or scotty yet, but you have built some nasty motors in the past so obviously your imput holds some substance.


FYI, that's not a stock throttle body... .
