Iāve been running Smoothboost on my 1066 WHP Camaro for about 4 years now. Iāll never own another pd blower without a Smoothboost. Being able to run the same pulley combo whether street or strip is worth it alone.
I definitely understand (my Camaro is 1066 WHP so Iām not a stranger to getting air into motors lol). But removing restrictions on an NA motor is typically a good thing, the 22/23 engines were rated at less HP and the necked down intake was part of that reason. That was my point. :)
Check this thread out. Actual MAF tube ID was measured by a fellow forum member.

I donāt think thatās true since the ā22-ā23 MAF tube is necked down a good bit. The CAI fixes that. Plus OEM has a much smaller filter vs a good brand CAI. I would bet a beer (or several lol) on that test if someone did a back to back on the same dyno.
Agreed. And FWIW I did a Corsa CF CAI on our ā22 and no tune was needed at all. So it eliminates the carbon trap BS and lets you pick up a few more HP (while looking damn good lol).
Once upon a time I bought myself a MIG welder and decided to teach myself to weld. That weld looks like my first one. Thatās NOT a good thing by the way. š¤£š¤£š¤£
From personal experience, I can confirm that you do NOT want Supercar 3 on your car at that power level. Unless you live on an Indian Reservationā¦and want to send smoke signals. š
I run R888R in 315/30/20 on my 1066 WHP Camaro. I usually dial down the boost for street use to roughly 800 WHP and the R888R holds up pretty well. At the track I run 325/50/15 ET Street R but I really hate using the drag pack on the street⦠thus the R888Rs. :) Iāve got buddies with NT555R2...
Eric at NextGen have any ideas? Might be able to get the hard shell connectors from a wrecked Mustang then the pins only should be easier to source Iād guess.
To be fair, Enzo Ferrari was Ferrari. Carroll Shelby was not Ford. Big difference. And thatās no knock on Shelby, he was great and gave Ford a huge shot in the arm. But Enzo WAS Ferrari, and that company grew from the ground up as a racing-first operation no questions asked. Ford was not...
