Spacer idea is interesting as long as the lid still seals and no un-filtered air can get to the engine and as long as air box remains sealed giving the benefit of RAM AIR effect.Yeah, my plan wouldnt have messed with the MAF diameter or area. Simply removing the "lip" that seals that part of the filter out, was my plan.
To add, I was actually thinking of possibly adding a spacer the shape of the OD of the filter to raise the lid up 1/2" or so....
I have come up with a ton of ideas - I am definitely not short of them!
Honestly? I bought the car, drove it home and loaded up the 93 tune from him. It was a little aggressive for me, because the 93 tune is what I use for a road course tune - so I had him dial it down to where peak timing is around 27 degrees. Last time I logged that tune, it didn't even reach 27 if I recall correctly.Very impressive indeed that is 470-480HP crank roughly, admittedly you have E85 and US cars have better headers stock than RHD ones but that is still hugely impressive power.
Surprised at your timing though consider many guys on good Octane 93/94 gas are seeing around 30 degrees spark also, I've seen as high as 32 on mine with no positive knock on a pull, but saying that was on GT 350 IM which is known for being able to run more timing.
Did Ken spend a lot of time fine tuning your tune or was that literally his off the shelf first attempt at dialling in your setup?
I know Ken is one of the best, but he is one very busy in demand man.

The E85 tune is from the same time. It is the only tune I got from him, and has never been revised. It drives perfect and makes great power, so I have never considered asking him for any changes.
I have often considered putting 93 back in the car and running it in bone stock tune form with my mods on the hoosiers to see what it would run. I think that would be interesting!
Attach a log file, i'll run it through my COB and see what I'm getting through the airbox which like the GT modded one you've just done, is the same (Hopefully) and a high flow filter. See if it matches up with the US guys numbers :lol:.
Careful you don't tread on anyones toes... the CAI is their baby and makes power cuz a marketing team told them it did ;)!
You can only compare with EB's though. As a V8 for obvious reason is NA and more cylinders blah blah.Yep, as I thought Cobbs gauges for me on a datalog then ! Cheers bud, i'll run one tonight and see what I get, obviously I'm running velossa/K&N and air raid intake tube for reference.
