It’s got two snout inlets right dead center exact where the inner cooler meets the plenum air duct lol. Measured thought out and ordered. I will need to cut the hole for the connecting tube outlet from vara to inner cooler . Or make custom filters on each duct either way it fits so I have a couple options on it . It’s gonna be a 1 of a kind surely . Have you ever heard of a super charged double true air induction on a c5 I thought not .


If you ask why it’s because modding bigger parts needs back pressure like I been telling you all . And one can’t achieve the proper ratios needed to excel over 17-20 mph per/sec without some added force on the acceleration point . Watch it run 6’s maybe a 5 . Lol Although my end goal isn’t a quarter mile it’s reaching 300 . I think it’s just about there after this one .
Please post videos of your super induction vararam air booster charger setup, can't wait to see how this works out for ya. You'll hit 300 mph no problems once you attached plastic ductwork to your charge piping.

I’ll keep this mod to myself as if u can’t figure out out. Seeing no one has figured a way to use the true air parts with a super charger yet . But sorry to say it’s been done and the response is greater then ever . Still waiting on a throttle body adapter to finish it all up . Plastic duct work yes indeed . It runs cooler and doesn’t retain heat values the way metals do.


I have to say just when u thought it’s all been done when u think u have seen it all nope . It actually sucks so much air now I start to worry **** ...I need these 100# injectors now . Maybe I’ll get some 270# just in case . It saves me the hassle when I stroke to 1600 and then some .

Read the thread he on methanol pro commander fuel flex who said anything about 550hp you can’t go 300mph with 550hp but with the added efficiency of the dual intake setup speedy is prototype so I would estimate probably a 20% reduced power needed and an increase of as much as 32% made!

The engine flows 1180 hp @ 4 bar 58 psi . 860 cc per minute injection at WOT . Which isn’t that bad . 550 RWHP funny jokes . Even at a generous 15-20% loss that’s still way beyond 550 ! 995 or something .

I last time I did 15sec 1/4 was because I forgot to put 5 spark plugs back in before racing.

[QUOTE=neutron82;1601859124]so you make 1180 on a stock block, stock cam, stock manifolds, stock injectors, and all seasons

[/QUOTE

Ur mostly right except the injectors came with the AA kit they are far from stock like I mentioned 860 cc flow per min at 4 bar 58 psi fueling. We’re not calculating 43.5 3-bar


ALL seasons . Nah HTR Z5’s aren’t a all season don’t need um we barley get rain . I could always throw in the slicks & skinnies take a few grand out some hands . It’s not like I mind some extra income tax free hahaha. I’ll be nice and even run 91.

The HTR Z5 is a maximum performance summer tire that combines wicked street tuner appeal with superior dry and wet handling at high speeds to deliver the thrills you want and the safety you need.

Equipped with cutting-edge Sumitomo technology, the HTR Z5 helps you get the best out of your modern sports car or performance sedan and maximizes your daily driving experience, especially in wet-weather conditions.

Whether you're battling stop-and-go traffic or cruising along on the open road, the Z5 has the features you need for a luxurious driving experience.
