I recently went ahead and ordered up the CJ swap for the Boss. Decided to make my own thread for result updates, etc.
The work previous to the car consisted of:
Kooks 1 3/4 Headers
Kooks O/R X Pipe
Bassani Custom 3" Exhaust
C&L Air Intake
Meziere EWP
Aluminium Driveshaft
Mcleod RST w/ Aluminium Flywheel
3.73s w/ Carbon Clutch Posi/Moser Axles
275/60/15 Nitto Drag Radials on Race Stars
AED Tune
With that work, the car put down consistent 450-455whp/390-395wtq through all heat ranges (oil, coolant, ambient) multiple times on the use of a personal Dyno Jet 224x. Car ran 11.69 at 122.9 with a terrible 1.90 60 ft in positive DA. Car was having a lot of issues in the first 100-150ft and was ruining the track results. Some suspension geometry issues and too stiff a tire just plagued it with wheel hop. Suspension has been straightened out and 27" QTPs will be on for the next outing. I suspect in the same air with the same power/weight (3475lb raceweight last time out), she had a solid 11.0-11.1 in it at 124-125mph had I been able to make the car work efficiently without use of the CJ. Id like to say Id have some solid CJ gains at the track for you in the future, but unfortunately between all that I have done, it just wouldnt be apples to apples.
So with the history out of the way. We shall get onto the swap of the intake. I ordered up a CJ Manifold, along side an SCJ Monoblade and Rev Auto 5" CAI. Everything is installed and currently running with the base tune from AED. Runs rather well actually at 800rpm idle, even for an un-logged base tune. I will hopefully have some dyno results for you soon, pending weather (New England). But here are some pictures.....
Future work for this season will consist of:
Baer front brakes
Girodisc rear rotors
Hoosier DRs for the street on my 15x10s
Hoosier QTPs on another set of 15x10s
Bias front runners on 15x3.5s
Front Coil Overs (still undecided on brand)
ATI Balancer
Looking to get the race-weight down to roughly 3350lbs
