Yes, I'm not 100% on that choice (heat) either but I'm sure he'll chime in.

While we're at it... I didn't think a BAP was necessary when under 600WHP. I'd be curious to know the benefits.

Well I'm going off what Brenspeed sells as a kit called 710r which consist of the SCT tuner & tune, Ken Bell BAP and if you were on a Stage one Roush SC the Roush CAI. This tune should get into a bit above 600 so I'm assuming they are using it as a safety feature. You might want to email Brenspeed and ask them there reasons If you don't get a good answer here. It's not a high price item and I'm sure it can't hurt LOL.

Depends if the CAI matches the hood liner for a good seal.

Very true. Those numbers are about the 600/625 horsepower at the crank. I am guessing the torque numbers go up as well.

You mean at the wheels correct? On paper it's 710hp at the crank, Brenspeeds website has a dyno being done that did over 600+rwhp and 500 +TQ with the package.
