Second set of 0-60 and LOUD intake
#1
Well dont wanna make too many posts as people complained but ran another set of 0-60s to confirm the impressive runs the other day and was equally impressed at the numbers and consistently especially in 95 degree temps-however bone dry air is nice
Again 530-evotech, intake,exhaust
95 degrees, no humidity 700feet alt
Did only one set of 3 runs as it was just plain hot and no point in killing the engine
-5.92
-5.65
-5.81
Again pleased with anything under 6 seconds-still impressed at the modiblity of the 530-from a listed 6.6 seconds from both big car mags and bmw to a best of 5.59 and consistent sub 6 seconds is impressive to me on a car that cannot have more than 285ish crank hp with everyhing all said and done.
And to those few dudes who have an AFE-the mod I did with the cutout in the fender wall and a 4 inch intake pipe into the cone filter-WOW very loud in a nice way-I wanted louder and I got it-I think it had great preformance gains and even more impressive sound gains. Well worth it.
Man I would love to see a slightly modded 550 or 535-I am sure sub-5s are easily feasible consider virtually 100 horses more-I would love to see some posted 0-60 times for the 550 fellows-however I believe the gearing on the 530 was a bit more favorable than the 550 I believe the 535 is even more favorable so should post some sub-5second numbers quite easily.
Again-my fender mod for those with AFE who missed it-hey I am proud to be the first to do this and with good gains-obviously for those who think the obvious thought about gunk getting sucked into the filter-this will obviously come out during winter or any rainy days-but I live in Phoenix so those are not really existent-obviously understand those in actual "4 seasons" think this is nuts but it is so dry here it works
