Just pulling off the dyno right know!
We Have a 400 mile brand new Pontiac
G8 that we have been beta testing a nice new Roto-Fab cold air kit. This thing is awesome Jake will post up pics and dyno graphs later. Here are the early results
Stock everything : 286 .48 HP 316.35 TRQ ....Best of multiple runs from 190*-220*
Roto-Fab cold air Intake: 304..62 HP 328.49 TRQ best of multiple runs from 190*-220*
And the best deal is we ran it from 180* down the 1/4 and here are the results.
STOCK
13.65@ 102.73
13.84@ 102.50
13.85@ 101.77
Roto-Fab Cold Air
13.54@104.31
13.52@104.09
13.53@104.01
Those where all pulled back to back with out shutting the motor off!!!
Inlet air temps dropped 9* with the cold air and only 2 * With the stock air box....
339.95 is what it will be out there for in about 10 days should be ready to ship![Angel](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_angel.gif)

Yeah,
No tuning done and the car was extremely rich I suspect COT I would of liked to tune it up but we think its best to see what bolt on power can be had. Roto-Fab is working on some other tricks for the next round of testing. Possible some high Flo Cats.

I really don't think the factory cats are restricting flow too much. One thing I'd like to get out of the way is headers, and maybe I can custom-weld some highflow cats onto a cutsom H-Pipe. I'm working with a local shop on getting that done.

I am trying to get the dyno graphs posted up here really soon.
Interesting fact.... With the cold air it is almost .7 richer.
There is alot of power left on the table for a tune.

How does it sound with the intake? I know on my car intake made a huge difference in performance and sound because the stock intake was all closed up and I couldnt hear the engine much. I test drove a G8 yesterday and it was too quiet.

I think part of that is because it's a mustang dyno. I have said the same thing about a few of the dyno's I've seen on them. Some of the drivetrain losses are more than what 4x4 trucks lose.

You are right the Mustang Dyno is a little tuffer (load cell) I think there is a lot of Torque Management in play also The most timing we saw was 21.5 I am sure there is a lot left in it.
