Question for the tuning gurus:
According to internet wisdom, the 13/14 GT500 intake parts flow as follows:
Stock Resonator - 1385 cfm
Stock TB - 1085 cfm
Stock air filter - 1457 cfm.
So - why do folks go for the CAI first? Seems that the TB should be the first mod for higher performance.
As I understand it, the 65 mm Ford Racing TB flows about 1517 cfm (from memory, sorry if I'm off).
I "get" that once you add the TB, the other parts become restrictive, but do you really need the flow from a 123mm CAI vs a FRPP res delete and a filter for similar gains?
Has anyone done just the TB and left the stock parts on (with a tune)? (also has the benefit of looking stock for CA visual inspection).
AS ALWAYS, Thanks for any insight...
