Jlt cold air intake vs ram air intake (nextgen)

[RobH]

Anyone been told by your tuner that is hard to tune the HB and the ram is better and more accurate.

That being said, anyone have idle issues with the HB kit.

I was told that. Then i switch to 04sleeper and my car runs like stock with the high boost.

Well I went from a high boost intake back to a RAI. I'm also running a tvs on 21lbs and e85. I think the hp difference is marginal, not seat of the pants difference.

I choose to go back to a rai because of ease of swapping plugs. Also because the filter got in the way of where I mounted my fuel regulator.

I am not that high on boost. Expecting 17-18lbs out of the whip 2.3 with a 3# pulley. Tuner told me to switch to a 2600maf and get the ram air. Meanwhile I already spent the big money for the carbon JLT. PITA!!!

Im still on the factory tube, maf, and a KN FIPK. Has anyone every seen a boost increase when going to a larger housing/tube?

That should be fine. I'm not close to maxing out my 2600 maf. I'm very happy going back to the rai.

I got 0 hp gains from the JLT intake.
Tuned and retuned on E85.

I'm using hb and 04 sleeper tuned my car with no issues.

Looks like I'm recognizing a common thread here.....04sleeper can make a lot of things work perfectly with his tuning, and it doesn't even require rose colored glasses. The much maligned 80s, return or returnless, stock inlet tube/RAI/High Boost, pump gas or ethanol.....zero excuses he just makes it work.

OP, you might want to change tuners.

Lol. I have been impressed with dyno comp so far. Great guys!! He has tuned a couple here in AZ with good results.

Get the car back next week, so... we shall see how they do. Thanks for the feedback guys, as always.
