Ok, time to start giving out some info on the JLT CAI for the 5.0

We are late to the gates due to the hold up at Ford. Nothing is shipping right now and our car is one of those stuck and done. We ordered our Kona Blue Premium back in January to be built with the Brembo brake package so we can hit the road track as we love, 3:73’s, shaker 1000, comfort group, HID’s and more, but it HAS NOT ARRIVED YET. ARGHHHHH.

So our awesome dealer came through for us and got us a car for testing until ours comes in.
So we got right to work and started testing.
Here are some videos we made from our first test session:

[nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_imSvXgcig"]YouTube- JLT PERFORMANCE testing intakes on the 2011 GT 5.0[/nomedia]

This is with no tuning, we didn’t even have the software yet when these tests were done. So we got to work on the tube and MAF, testing sizes, shapes and how the car reacts to every possible combo. We saw gains of up to 17 RWHP and equal TQ, for some early testing we are happy with what we are seeing.
We worked around the clock developing a heat shield to utilize the fresh air duct from the factory and a much larger free flowing inlet tube/MAF combo. Yes, the MAF will be part of the tube, not a separate piece. This looks killer and makes install a snap.

With a hand made proto type we hit the dyno again and did some more testing on Thursday. Ok, today was a high of 99*. When we started conditions in the shop were 98* for the base line runs and over 102* for the JLT results and I’m still impressed with what we’ve done. Where base line numbers last week were in 361-362 RWHP the heat played a small role in a slightly lower 357 & 359 RWHP base pulls.

We ALWAYS base line the car the day of a product test and this is why. A car will not dyno the same number everyday and when a product makes 10-20 RWHP every HP counts when doing a test.
Here is the video:

Again, NO TUNING and we gained 14-16 RWHP.

I have been driving the car with the JLT proto type on and will all weekend to check drivability and power. We will be putting it back on the dyno next week to do some back up testing again (3rd time) and then to start turning up the power with our “tune” version CAI and custom tuning.

I can’t give out too much, but this will be worth the wait. I have several shops lined up who will be testing this as well and giving there honest opinion before it’s released.
Look for us on display at Mustang Week.

Thanks
Jay
