[QUOTE="Grabber, post: 14647729, member: 70485"] Kinda late in this thread. I'm curious as to why sspstangbanger would suggest the plastic FRPP intake over Drew's custom aluminum intake. Is there any technical data behind this? I was in a toss up over the Rev Auto and Drew's intake. After speaking with drew on more than one occasion and also a few others that ran his intake over the Rev Auto, I went with Drew's intake. There were issues with low RPM MAF readings on the Rev Auto and the intake is made out of mild steel vs. Aluminum. Mild steel will hold heat more than Aluminum and aluminum cools down faster. I got into an argument with a couple of guys on S197Forum for choosing aluminum and was hung out to dry for committing such a sin to get an aluminum over the mild steel. I L O V E the rev auto and am still considering switching for the reason that it will complete the "look' of my engine bay over Drew's. Also, can anyone advise what the point of Smoothing is? When speaking to AED, he advised that if smoothing is set to 5, the Dyno numbers are higher, but, it shows more of where the power is made, etc. My car made 438 on smoothing factor 5 STD, but, SAE corrected, it is somewhere around 421/367 with a Ported CJ, Mono-blade, Cat-deletes, intake, tune and mufflers. I've seen numerous guys make upwards of 440 RWHP/390 RWTQ with the same setup, but with a mid-pipe instead over the cat-deletes with 0 smooth and SAE. It seems my numbers are quite low. Thanks for any info guys. -Chris [/QUOTE]
