Kevin from Performance Autosport in Richmond came down with their bone stock 2011 GT for us to do yet another before and after JLT CAI and tune test to confirm the past results we've seen.

We strapped it down and did 2 runs to make sure it was making good stock power and it was, 361 RWHP and 334 RWTQ. This is exactly what our Kona car did stock.

After a quick install and tune upload we made some more pulls. Run 3 was a blunder as it was made in 4th (oops) by mistake so run 5 was a pretty hot run with coolant temps above 200.
This resulted in a 384.92 RWHP and a 363 RWTQ for just shy of a 24 RWHP and 30 RWTQ gain.

To be far we let the car cool for 30 minutes and got coolant temps in the 175-180 range, more equal to the stock run and bam, 391.6 RWHP and 369.64 RWTQ for a grand total of 30 RWHP and 35 RWTQ gain from nothing more then a JLT CF CAI and JLT custom tune.

The tune was not adjusted and is the same tune we have been running in our car minus our header adjustment for weeks now.
We also remove the skip shift in the tune as well.
I'm working on a video now and hope to have it up sometime today.

Big thanks to Mark and Kevin at Performance Autosport for the car and time.
Thanks
Jay

 

Nice test and results. Any updates on when we can expect the black plastic CAI out?

 

What he said!

 

The plastic CAI kits will be ready early 2011.

Thanks
Jay

 

Man, looking at those graphs makes so much sense. I always felt like the car hit this major lull at 2500 RPM, and then it would grab hold and just go. Glad to see it wasn't my mind making this up, and glad to see the tune fixes it!

The amount of torque gained at 2500 RPM with your intake and tune is just crazy. I just got my tune from Brenspeed, and the way I worded it when I spoke with them afterwards is, it feels like I bolted a Chevy small block under the hood. Gobs of torque for everyone!

 

Holly crap. 30rwhp from just an intake and tune is crazy. I might be leaning towards your JLT intake instead of the C&L. Is the 30hp gain a street tune or is it more of track only tune.

 

This is just a mild street tune, the same one we send with our package.

Shops like BBR, Lethal and JPC have reported the same type of gains with our CAI.
Many customers have reported 15 RWHP over and above the tune they all ready had on the car.
Tunes are good for 12-15 and the JLT is worth another 12-15.

 

Jay, you are making this very hard to wait for a painted version!

Do you know if the design is the same with the painted one?

 

They are an exact copy except they will be rotational molded plastic and come in body color.
I'm still working on price, but it will be cheaper then the CF

Thanks
Jay

 

just re-read it. my bad.

 

Jay,

I belive this test was all done on 93 octane. Do you offer a 91 octane tune for your CAI/tuner packages? Any idea how the numbers compare, 91 vs. 93?

Thanks

 

We can tune for 91 and I'd expect a few HP less.

Along with fine products and fantastic results, you can expect top notch customer service from Jay at JLT. I've purchased a few intakes from him over the years, and he has always stood by and supported them properly.
