Does blackwing really make more power.

I have the blackwing on an 02 coupe. I have yet to dyno it but the seat of your pants impression, is not making any more power. Does anyone have a dyno on blackwing on an 2002 coupe. I have heard the stock box on the 02 was better than prior years. I did by the way feel better throttle response when I added a bpp power duct and the blackwing.

Your thoughts please?

Member Tiger Shark, a local guy here, dynoed much better than stock on his '02 coupe. He's one I am familiar with of the top of my head.

Better breathing makes for better response and power, although it is hard to detect by you SOTP meter! :yesnod: :)

I recommend you read thru this thread, if you already haven't.... there are also some dyno numbers in it.

My '99 definately benefitted from it. She's finally breathing right.
Good luck. :cheers:

The blackwing makes more power. After some 1/4 mile runs in stock trim a installed the blackwing and droped my times by .40 and incresed the trap speed by 4 Mph. You will get no improvment with the any aftermarket air chamber im told.
