Cool

Oh baby! I just got back from the C&L + Predator tune inaugural drive . Man does that thing make a difference or what! There is A LOT more torque, so much so that there is a little torque steer if you get on it off the line. I can only imagine what supercharger will do to these cars.

The C&L intake plus my Flowmasters officially makes my car sound awesome! Money well spent if you ask me .

The install was ridiculously simple. Loosen 1 hose clam, remove 1 bolt, and the stock assembly comes right out. 4 hose clamps, 2 torque screws, 1 bolt and the C&L and filter goes right in. Backing up my stock tune and downloading the C&L custom tune took longer than the install itself.

Here are some pictures of the install.

I too have the C&L + Flowmaster + Predator combo. I am curious what grade gasoline you are using and which tune. I have tried several combinations with various results.

I am currently running 87 octane gas and the "C&L MAF 91" tune with -2 global spark adjustment. I am pretty happy with this setup, it runs strong through the whole RPM range, especially from about 4K on, but I am always interested in what others with the same equipment are using. Thanks.

That looks awesome! I think that intake and tuner combo is what I'll go with eventually as well. I have some other things to sort out before I'll have the money for any mods though.

I am using the C&L 91 octane tune with 93 octane gas. I just installed everything today so I haven't explored any of the other options the Predator offers yet.

As of right now I'm still going... I'm leaving for vacation on the 21st so hopefully my company will just let me take that monday off so I can be out there for the weekend.
