Update: Please see this post for information on how SRT treats their customers. I do NOT recommend this product and it has been REMOVED!

Modification:

SRT (Swift Racing Technologies) High Flow Intake with "RACE ECU"

Purpose:

Theoretical additional HP, Torque, and different sound.

Supplier:

http://www.swiftracing.com/

Cost:

$799 MSRP (Current as of 08-14-08)

DIY or Professional Install:

Could be DIY but done professionally

My Rating:

0/10

Difficulty Rating:

5/10 (Per installer - Intake was easy, the fact that you have to solder about 8 wires onto the factory ECU took 70% of the time). I believe installation time by SRT is claimed at 1-1.5 HRS, but realistically it's 2-3.

Instructions/Notes/Comments:

Intake itself is of acceptable quality, "RACE ECU" looks like it cost about $5 and has loose rattling pieces inside. (Spoke to SRT about this, they said the PCB is not "mounted" inside the box and does freely float around per design spec)

Notes and Deviations from instructions:

One of the pin-outs in the installation for the ECU is wrong. I don't have the instructions any more, but I believe it was the 2nd to last wire to be connected. Hopefully they are shipping proper instructions in the future.

Pictures and Additional Comments:

Comments:

Initial results - So far, no where near the claimed increases on their webpage (+20RWHP/+20TQ). In fact, HP is lost in the low end but only an additional 8HP is gained overall. 2ft/lbs of torque are reported missing permanently. The nice sound produced by the intake is almost justification for the loss, but not quite!

Installation and Dyno's were done by Performance Factory in Orlando, FL.

My Dyno Results:



Needless to say, I'm going to follow up with SRT and see what they try and justify it with.

Update: I spoke with SRT today and sent them my Dyno results. They are working with me on the matter and i'll continue to update this thread with more information.

Nice mod...  Is there any video of the sound?

Holy Batman!!!  That thing sounds badass...  Too bad the dyno is whirring..  Thanks for posting!

Would've liked to have heard it more from the front end than the exhaust end to get a better feel for it.

Car gets pretty good power to the wheels in stock trim though.

Yeah, that's a pretty good number for a NA V8 with a nice curve.

Awesome! Love the roar of the intake!

You can hear it, but its not a night and day difference in the vid.  Sounds like any cone CAI though.

no i can't really hear the difference, like HD said... vid/sound would have been a lot better in front of the car I think
