Ok guys just a quick question. for every 2-3 degree decrease in intake temps what kind of power gains do you see? Just wondering https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

1hp per 10 degrees? Can't remember its been awhile..

Reducing air charge temps by 10 degrees will increase power by a minimum of 1%

after installing the greddy fmic vspec there is a large notice in hp gains. even at the same boost levels.

yup



10-11 degrees cooler intake air charge equal 1% HP gain...

1% not 1 hp, that would make more sense..

yeah really its more like 1% min 2% max depending on your other mods. That is how sidewinder noticed such a gain with his FMIC, they cool 24-31 degrees on average depending on size...

So you guys are saying 1% power increase with nothing else changing? I was thinking the #'s could be more because the 10 degree decrease or whatever could allow you to turn up the boost a little, no?

Not to mention on boosted vehicles they spool faster too https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png
