heh what website DOESN"t claim significant gains!!

 

they claim

+16 whp for NA
+35 whp for FI
if you don't feel the gains.. for those of you have it installed.. dunno what to tell ya. I'm going with a $300 spacers which will give me similar gains.

 

so what was your baseline dyno without the SSV?

 

269 hp
251 tq

w/ Crawford Cast Plenum

On Dynapack dyno

 

so you are saying that the SSV made 14 whp and 18 TQ over a crawford on an NA car?

 

Yes, those are the numbers that she produced after the SSV upgrade.
I had also installed a thermal manifold gasket during the upgrade.

 

14 whp & 18 lbs WOW
So anyone that has one, and is not happy with their SSV I'll buy it from you.

 

I figure (not saying its correct or anything) that with the average guy installing it, and not installing it absolutley perfectly..spacers= more room for error and more open seals ect. I'm not against spacers, i think they're very effective, its just one of the things i was thinking about before i got the ssv. I was actually about to get the 5/16th spacer but i figured i'd rather have the 1/2..then i figured if i get the 1/2 i'd need a strut bar...then if im gonna get the 1/2 and a strutbar, then i might as well get a polished crawford and a strutbar..and the price just kept shooting up lol.. I got sucked in by the mod bug. When i get it and install it, i'll let you know if theres any improvement (should get it this week... i ordered 11/11/05)

EDIT: btw since that guy gained like 16hp/18trq, i'm almost sure its due to his secondary mods. Kinda like synergistic..besides u can suck more air in if u can blow more air out.. a SSV on a stock car richens the af ratio..by adding hfc exhaust and such, it leans it out a bit more. You can get more gains thru that alone.

 

well we will see atleast for FI Gus is going to put one in his car right now he is making 401rwhp we will see what it makes when its on.

 

since hes FI it would only be fair if u included before dyno, after dyno w/ AF chart and a tune. If he was NA i wouldn't expect u to tune and dyno.

 

nice, way to shut up the crawford tools.


btw, i have the SSV as well and i love it. It produces more power throughout the band as opposed to a plenum or spacer according to the kinetix dyno and my butt dyno

 

i wouldn't say they're tools.. theres just always something better. the price/hp ratio however is exponentiall decreasing as the price goes up. Crawfod is right in the middle..SSV is upper middle.. there are more radical and expensive designs (think topsecret..ect)

 

I only call them tools because they rush into any thread that talks about a part (headers, manifold, etc) that isnt crawford.

 

lol okay theni guess that makes them tools. my SSV will be shipped thursday!

 

thats funny, a car at my shop with this manifold, headers, hight flow cats and nismo cat back made less hp than stock due to an excessivly lean mixture caused by the combination of mods and the stock ecu, not to say that if it were properly tuned it would pwn, as it looks like yours did after the reflash but from what we saw stock it failed miserably. that being said, this car is not your car so this could be an isolated case... something to consider before shelling out the hard earned dough though.

 

Yeah that makes sense. Honestly I didnt get SSV as bolton power.. I know very well i need some kind of engine managment or tune, which is on its way
