Not sure how derailed this thread will be in the morning but I expect it to be just as "entertaining" as it has been. You guys have a good night.

No worries. It's just a discussion. We're all here for the same reason, just doing it different ways. Have a good nights rest. :)

No need for this info.

So with that being said. The only difference between the boss 302 intake and cj is the fact your have to run a gt500 tb and cai. So that giving you the extra hp.

You forgot the larger plenum, especially in the rear, which provides room for the full bellmouths on all the runners, which the Boss does not have. This is the most important thing.

Here's the thing. They live at the track and only care about what happens at the track. I really could careless what my car does. I always wanted a black/black 6 spd 500 rwhp NA and big shot of nitrous. Guess what i have it. And I highly doubt their bolt on car would beat my car on the hwy.

Well I haven't drag raced my car since June of 2012, but I made some 180 MPH runs on an unprepared surface which other than being rougher than the typical highway is no different than what you're talking about. Lots of blown cars couldn't keep up with me in a full mile. Now be careful, remember what happened the last time you mouthed off about how you were going to beat everyone.

LOL it won't happen. He doesn't street race. Which is fine cause I don't track race only.

You want some street action do you? You REALLY sure that is what you want? What's the excuse going to be when you lose there?

I race cars, not engines. Horsepower is only a part of the big picture.

If you guys want to get hung up on dyno numbers no problem. My car has never seen a dyno and would probably make around 250 at the tire but it has run 10's at every major track in Texas and has done so in every season of the year.

I'll stick to datalogging and track testing under real world conditions to evaluate effectiveness of performance parts. :waytogo:

I agree with everything you are saying.

No one is disagreeing with that.

Damn I just read this whole thread, I made the thread over on svtp. It was just meant to be a same day back to back (within 1 1/2 hour) dyno pulls of a boss intake to CJ intake to see a basic gain. Nothing more and nothing less. WBT and kdanner are right with dyno numbers mean nothing at all. The real difference will be at the track and that's it. My thread is just 1% added to CJ intake manifold knowledge and that is it.

Thank you to everyone testing the CJ intake for me :) Thank you for all of your data and I'm looking forward to final results from everyone!
