I gained around 1 mph over a ftra...there are some others out there that are going from a slp verison maybe they will chime in...if I had to guess I would say a minimum of 1mph

around $100 difference once you sell the slp intake for 1mph+ gain...that's pretty cheap hp/$, thanks for the props

I did not read the entire thread so most likely these questiona have been asked and answered.

How much of the reported hp/mph gain is a direct result of the A/C being removed? Additionally what is the performance delta between the A/C and non-A/C versions?

I was the first person for Chris to make a AC version for. He made this for me back in 2008 or 2007 cannot remeber..

Don't know what I really gained. But it did help.

The most important thig is that you have to seal up your lid completely..

that is the ac version bud...and damn we need to buy you some clear silicone... haha

as for the 2.7mph gain I got, the ac was removed for both...so using the general comparison of 100lbs~ 1mph and the ac weighing 33lbs I would have gained right around 3 mph if I had the ac on before with the stock setup on my cam only car...but to be conserative we say a 2mph gain...

my best guess is the non ac version will gain .8-1mph over the ac one...

My bad, I should've just looked up at the posts in this page.

Any math guys that can convert that 1.5mph gain into hp? Isn't there a formula, takes x amount of hp to move y amount of lbs????

It wont. Great piece and worth the money. No better way to get air into the TB other than this setup.

Done.

1mph on a stock internal car is about 10rwhp

heads and cam will be closer to 1mph = 12rwhp
