Hey guys, it's all SPT performance again and as you can see we still have our

, it's a VM part test car and we're a super secret VMP Dino cell here playing with it. We want to settle a little debate on the internet now about how much you can actually earn by just removing the lid of this air box now, as I mentioned in the last video, we will be posting these videos all week long if you want to watch them all right now without waiting for us, so We posted them on YouTube, head over to Quiet SVT Performance, the link is in the description below to see the full article.

We have all these videos live right now. You do not have to wait; Otherwise you hit the subscribe button and wait like everyone else, so we've done some testing here with the GT500. and we're working on a theory that this thing may be a little restricted in the air box, so let's open it up and let it breathe and see how it works. You turned it into a gt350, it's basically the same setup, there you go, hey we're sick of it, you think so, who knew there was basically a cold air intake inside that thing? Well, turns out we just needed to pull the airbox cover and we made 753 rear wheel.

SAE horsepower I can smooth out the data to give you that smooth data and we're still at 7:46 that's all that's impressive yeah we need to remove the filter now yeah so the air box cover looks like it's plumb to save the horsepower, yeah, if we speed up If we're up to 77 a little bit, yeah, we've got about seventy wheels and we haven't even made any adjustments yet, but this is a ported blower head and everything else, let's do another one. survey just for consistency. consecutive hot bullet only lost ten horsepower, no good, we never turn off the car, theme filter, all anacs, favorites, cool, bye early, so what are we looking at, no filter, okay, like this that you will be a little disappointed.

My advice is that it's probably due to the heat, so we didn't do any filter surveys right after. I mean, we're tracking here pretty much the horsepower all the way down, we go down to 753 horsepower. Alright, we're down about 20 feet, but I'm going to turn up the heat, so I'm going to have to check the data to make sure I do another mole just to make sure we get a consistent result, but it looks like the big limitation is that the cap doesn't it's necessarily built, yeah, it's pretty impressive, because they can have an original paper filter, they can make the air, yeah, okay, so we keep seeing the power drop a little bit, so it was still made. 714 rear wheel horsepower on that run one thing I need to check however this computer system is the

it's pretty smart if it sees the fuel pressure or backs off certain limits it connects close the throttle, It doesn't happen in this case, but I wanted to.

To make sure it was just for some fun on the last run of the day, we decided to keep the same setup with the top off, but this time we did the run with the hood down, so just to start this off. The deal with the hood down is that the engine is hot to make a lot of bowls, we're at about 220 Fahrenheit at the end of the ball and we actually saw the temperature rise to about 227 afterward, so it's super screwed that the IITs they had wanted to be and this is what will surprise you, but it won't surprise you, you have completely dragged powers, food 688, okay, yes, then it would be interesting not to eat, so leave it, I understand if it's the heat plus the restriction or you know that? is exactly happening, but about 20 fields down, yes, we already have intercooler upgrades for this car on your car, but especially once the race was over, as you can see, we made some ridiculous gains on the dyno just by removing this airbox cover, but I'm not.

I'm pretty sure this will translate to the real world, so tomorrow we'll go to the track and test it. A real way to really gauge the performance of a mod is to go the quarter mile and see how it performs. runs so that's the next video but if you want to watch it right now it's live on SVT P just click the link in the description and check it out.
