volant vs. seal lid
Ironic. I just ordered the JAAM plate and Fast Toy Performance oversize lid (need a larger opening because of my 90/90/90 setup). The stuff ships Monday with an expected delivery date of 01/21/2008, so, as soon as I get it on, I'll post before and after timeslips to see what I pick up with this stuff.
Fast Toys claims you can begin making HP starting at 60 mph. Hopefully, it will give a mph difference to improve my ET .1 -.2 ... has anyone done this and had good results?
I wonder if anyone makes a VOLANT with a larger opening for a 90mm MAF?
i have it. love it! when i changed from a lid to the volant it was a huge difference but that might b/c my is starving on the intake side.lol.
jack there is plenty of room to port the plastic side for you 90 maf if you want. if had a chance to do it all over again i would. plus its different than everyone else's lid.

Well, I sealed the lower airbox today, will have the JAAM ram air plate, Fast Toys 85mm lid (with the huge bulkhead), and Spohn chromemoly 22mm rear sway bar on the car next time to the track in a week or so. MT Dr's will be out back, as well.
If I can pull a 1.5x 60', I'm hoping for 11.5-11.6 ET and 119-120 mph. Of course, I NEVER get what I hope for, but, I'll for sure be at least 11.8's @ 118 FINALLY. Then come the 15" Bogarts and skinnies!
Hope to see you guys at the track soon.

I did have to trim it some at an angle in order to get it to fit with my SLP lid setup, but it was really easy. I didnt have to do any additional trimming for the Volant, it fit with no problems.
I like the Volant a lot..performance should be about the same as a lid. It may cost more...but it is different than a lot of the lids people are running. Then again..a lot of people have been buying them from us as of late..so maybe they won't be so rare.

the cost of the volant it's not worth the money if you already have a high flow lid. after you debaffel(free) and seal($5.00) the hood to lid, performance gains are going to be the same and save you over $250.

I can see that set up for the TA's because the air comes right in from the nose.
NOw on a SS the lid and a SSRA kit is totaly the way to go the lid buy its self isnt that great because the SS hood dosnent work worth a poo the ssra kit comes with a peice to delete where the air coms in for the hood and then you do basicly the free air mod and put the plastic peices togather then you have a bottom feeder for air I I gained 2 10th's in the 1/4 and a cupple MPH thats all the proof I need that it works great.
