Pretty lousy customer service. Ton of interest and nobody bothers to post any info from BTR...Stevie gotta do it.

 

You need to be very careful, anymore and you will surely be slammed.

 

Someone had to say it. At this point Stevie should get a discount.

 

BTR is no longer a sponsor here for whatever reason.

But they are posting to social media. Take what you want from that. This site still generates a lot of traffic and revenue for them. They could provide more details. Social media is the death of forums... where everyone posts the same god awful questions and the answers are even worse. I, for one, would like to see the forums more active again. It's a better way to disseminate information and provides a much more useful archive of data.

 

Thanks Jake, that makes much more sense about BTR now. I agree about bringing forums back.

 

Funny stuff

 

i love the internet.....

 

I will become a believer, when I see a truly legit street car (not some hulled out race car that's driven on the street) pick up noticeably going from a LS6 intake, to one of these, with all other things staying the same.

 

I would imagine sponsorship carries a fair cost every month, unless that cost generates a substantial return...then it makes little sense. Perhaps even more so as social media can perhaps generate more interest for much less money.

Problem with lots of forums, is they can be too big, which makes it harder for people to find what they're looking for, harder to target a market...and then with forums being swamped by lots of complete and utter tripe and repetitive BS questions because people cant be bothered to search....it's always tough.

 

muh bad....i still think something is odd there. For sure that wouldn't hapoen on a na engine with just a tb change. Which is one reason why these tests done on a boosted engine is almost a waste of time.

 

I'd prefer to see what it would do vs an MSD or FAST intake. I know, they aren't great intakes for boost (mainly due to cost), but they do pick up a pretty big amount over the LS6 without the nose dive below 6000.

Also, the BTR is positioned as a competitor to like a High-Ram or Pro-Flow. Would be nice to see what it does against them.

I do believe it does a better job with cylinder distribution, but that's a hard thing to measure without individual runner tuning/EGTs.

 

More even in cylinder filling would be a big plus, however the other big thing here is not whether it can beat the Pro-Flow/Hi-Rams etc but that it can compete and fit under hoods the other 2 cannot.

 

I couldn't agree more. I was pretty active in a couple of Subaru forums before getting my C5, and the same thing happened in that world. It's been depressing to witness the transition.

 

The 20 intake test already covers most of that, in that they tested both an LS6, and the baseline LS1 intake so the comparisons are already out there for those.

Although even a FAST at $8-900 isnt a huge expenditure by any means. The only thing puts some off is the talk of them not coping with boost very well. Whether that really is a concern or not I dont know

 

$8-900 for an intake is peanuts now?

 

In 4 digit horsepower land, yes it's peanuts.

I make well over 1k with an LS3 and I'd replace it if anything out there could do the same job under the TA hood.

 

Would the twin TB Edelbrock cross ram fit? That'd add a few ponies, improve throttle response, and pick up a little down low if that mattered

 

That's very true.

 

Visually that looks cool.....I can only see it being a nightmare for little to no gain in reality.

 

Personally, I would still be interested to see how it competes with the Pro-Flo and Hi-Ram since it sounds like it is a high rpm piece. I know the marketing is towards fitting under stock hoods and cowls, but if there is power potential gains to be had it would be nice to see also for guys like me.
