I currently have a knn CAI ,so Im wondering if theres any brand to consider to change it for it...

texastboneking

Why are you unhappy with it? What are you looking for in a cai? (If you say "MOR POWAR!!!" I'm gonna mock you...)

Victorfriessen

I want more throttle response,it didnt seem to improve from stock to knn

texastboneking

Year of vehicle?

Victorfriessen

2008 mustang Gt

texastboneking

You sir need a tune.. not a cai. The factory tune has a parameter for throttle responce that is really conservative for all types of drivers. Get a Sct tune and problem solved

Victorfriessen

But I do hav a tune,and it still doesnt get near to what Im used to with my 2005 corvette, or are mustangs just like that? Would headers improve it to?

texastboneking

Corvettes rev real easy.. something about ls style engines love to rev.. overhead can engines tend to rev a little slower due to the amount of rotating mass involved. Now I haven't seen your car and you might actually have slow responce for a mustang. Is your tune a custom tune or just a tuner with a preset tune?

Flagstang

have you cleaned your TB? What tune? What fuel are you running?

BradGT

If you have an sct already, look up Brenspeed and get a 93 race tune, I had to get use to the throttle response being so quick, I still sometimes squeal the tires on accident leaving a light

Victorfriessen

I currently have a SCT with a bama tune and Im running 91 octane gas,also I do have detroit rockers installed,do cams make it slower to?

texastboneking

Rockers? You mean lockers right?
Cans really shouldn't effect your rev speed that much.. the tune is the biggest problem with the throttle responce.

Now I'm not experienced with aftermarket larger throttle bodies (cause I don't see a point for them unless your boosted) but my buddy swears it makes the rev time much faster. Says the throttle responce is much more snappy

Victorfriessen

The cams are called detroit rockers,but thanx for the info,first thing is gona try a diferent tune

texastboneking

Ooooohhh. Lol. I've only heard of Detroit locking rear diffs.. didn't realize they made cams.. must not be too common.

I'm gonna safely bet the tune is your issue

cdynaco

Detroit Rockers are Brenspeed cams. NA or supercharged versions.

If I recall correctly, there's actually some deadspace physically built into the pedal. The stock tune has terrible response. If you didn't feel a difference, then I'd definitely send BAMA an email or give them a call. Also make sure that you're using the "Race Tune", and not the "Street Tune."

Im uploading the race tune just now and lets cee what difference it will make

JerryG2163

Since you have cams installed, they will actually have a negative effect on the lower end of the powerband. In fact most places will make a recommendation for different gearing to compensate for the difference in power. In a NA setting I would think you need 3.73s or above to get a better response off the line. Some places recommend at least 3.90s or 4.10s due to the difference. I would check into that first because the tune won't fix the powerband distribution.
