The 2V Upper Plenum Showdown
The 2V Plenum Showdown
Now remember, this is a slightly modded PI car. The 96-98 lower intake flows very poorly, so don't expect the same results. |
Hey man, great article! That is the first test like this I have seen.
As a C&L Plenum user, I have the 75 mm TB since this was recomended by C&L. What ssems interesting to me, is that I seem to be in the minority by having one, as most go with the 70 mm TB. I would have liked to have seen the same test with a 75mm TB for my own selfish reasons. Thanks, though! Please post more stuff like this as you see it. |
No problem. The real person to thank is Matt Davis, the person who took the time and money to test everything. His info will help thousands of Ford owners.
BTW - you may want to change the "320 flywheel HP" in your sig. Some members around here would love to flame you for that. |
You're probably more in the range of 280-something at the fly with those mods.

I'm wondering if the C&L didn't do better because it was designed for and recommended to be used with the 75mm TB. I have seen higher gains from independent testing posted elsewhere for the C&L and 75mm on a pretty much stock PI car.

Blue:
What gains did you see with the 75mm on those independant tests? Were they consistent with C&L's claims? C & L Claims 15 - 20 hp gain with both plenum and 75 mm TB...seems like a lot considering the article. |
If I remember right it was more like a 12hp gain or so at peak on a pretty stock car with the plenum and 75mm, but the average gain was pretty impressive too. I'll see if I can find where I saw them posted.

one thing to look at if your a drag racers is that the c&l makes more power from 5000 up then both of the others all three keep the power up where the stock it just fell off after peak. look at them the c&L keeps making power to 6000 but the accufab was starting to fall off at 5600
the c&l was flat from 5000-6000 where they stopped the accufab started to fall off at 5600 the dragon started to fell off around 5700 so if your into just a fun street cars the accufab/dragon will be better cause it makes more low end to mid range power but if your into drag racing and getting good timslips then the c&l is better because it makes better power in the upper revs and keeps it flat |
