Your napkin math might make sense to you, but you forget that these open box intakes generally seal to the hood. Which is basically an upside down hot plate. Its as hot as the outside air, and then some. So the top of your sealed enclosure has a hot plate lid super heating the air before it...
Generally we see 40-60hp to the wheels gains. More broken in cars tend to make on the high side. But 40-50 is safe to assume for a stock gen4 5.0 om e85 tune only.
This couldn't be further from the truth. Tuning is the single largest means of gaining HP over stock for any NA coyote. The trans part of your comment is true though.
For a quick note on this - E85 tuning for a stock coyote will net you 50-60 hp to the wheels over stock. Sprinkle in some...
I had a guy I tuned a few weeks ago. We did back to back WOT logs with the corsa intake vs stock intakes (carbon traps out), at speed 2-3-4-5 gear WOT pulls, the stock ones flowed a bit better/more measured air across the maf in Lbs/min and the IATs were almost 20*F less. This was on a 24...
You havent spent much time on the corvette forums. If you want to argue, go there. You'll have a crowd of retired blue hairs willing to argue with you for months.
You tell me if you think forged connecting rods do anything over the standard rods on the GT at just about any power level. But again, you keep ignoring the facts that they are unnecessary for adding power with the coyote for the last decade of models.
Please tell me why an engine that makes...
Well, for one, you get a better engine for the price tag.
Wrong, its the same engine. Forged connecting rods do not change anything. As I said before you arent seeing any coyote engine going back to gen2 bending rods at 1k hp. So this is a wash either way - but continue to ignore this since...
To the contrary. You find out real fast that the DH is a GT with stickers and a higher price tag. Especially when they make 1:1 the same power as a base GT both with tuning. Thats where it starts to sink in that Ford literally sold you a bill of goods, and just watered down the DH less than...
Brother I've own 4 S650 GTs at this point including a DH. All for tuning developement.
You act like some salesman hit some homerun selling me a bunch of cars like I was some sap off the street. These GTs and DH I have/had were all to build tunes and for marketing on social media and Ive made...
Brother I've own 4 S650 GTs at this point including a DH. All for tuning developement. I had both a PP GT and a DH. Currently I have a 26 Im going FBO with CJ manifold and other goodies to push NA. Those buzz words you used are all bullshit. "unique chassis tuning" "better aero" "tighter...
Forged internals =/= forged rods. You got the same pistons and crank pal. And do you see coyotes blowing up with 1000hp on boost?? No you dont. So what exactly did a PP GT guy miss out on other than some stickers and an extra $20k price tag? Tell me where that value lies - again tremec not...
this is what is says for the 2025 engines. Forged connecting rods. Thats it. DH is the far right one. Again, engine wise that is the only difference. And tuning wise, the calibrations are almost identical except for a few house keeping differences and the less torque management in the DH...
