I think you could bet pretty close with the Trim @ 100% at 26 psi I believe is it's rating

Not sure on what you are saying ????? The T-trim is rated at 26psi . But to get that you would have to run with no IC and no belt slipage

Well I have some bad news . The IC and bigger IC pipe didnt get me past 13.4psi.....It did get me to 13psi at 6000rpm....a little sooner than before and intake air is cooler Its 70 degree's and intake was at 90 degree's and before it was over 100 degree's and cooler out side . I got it all the way to redline today and it stays at 13.0 to 13.4 from 6000rpm to 6800rpm . The belt is pretty tight and I may try to tighten it up some more just to see. And then try the 2.87 to see if it will get to 13psi even sooner . Any idea's John ?????

OK looks like complete piping with all hardware is gonna be just about 300.00 comperable to a cold air intake anyway. Looks also as if they will be manufatured from stainless. Pipe has been ordered will start bending next week. So who wants??????

Default Parts List for upgraded tubing

Ok you will get
3 pieces of tubing total. 2qty 3" tubing sections and 1qty 2 1/2 to 3" flare.
8qty. clamps (hopefully will be T-bolt style rather than standard band clamp)
4qty. 3"hose coupling

Basically everything needed to install upgraded tubing. Both the BOV/BYPASS valve and MAF flanges are integraded into the tubing eliminating the need for extra pieces and cleaning up the tubing by eliminating the need for the factory MAF.
As I get closer to completion I will repost with a more descritive listing of components

I hope so. I just wish I had a stock system to test this on to see if there is any advantage. I know for increased air flow this is a must. I do believe that peak torque numbers should increase as well as slight gian in HP but all speculation at this point.. BUt at least it will look good!!!!

John - Yep, I saw that recently but promised Sharif that I wouldn't open my mouth!! Besides, I offered him an extra $100 to let US have one of the first sets ( beside him, of course!! ).
