Re: Connect custom CAI to TB

Not sure if this helps but this is what I did for my twin turbo setup. I just used a 4" silicone coupler to bring it together.

Re: Connect custom CAI to TB

interested to see your setup for the CAI and your times with that motor combo. its close to mine that im building now.

383 HSR(ported) portmatched to felpro1206, 58mm TB, ported and shaped, comp cams XFI 280, 230/236, .567/.571 lift ported and portmatched to felpro1206 patriot 195cc heads, 30lb svo injectors, 1.6 alum RR, headman LTs, 3" mandrel pipes, with 3" XPIPE, true dual 3" with turndowns. also making custom ram air for my ramair II hood to TB. i was hoping for 470-500hp and equal tq, 700r4 with 2500 stall, and 3.27 rear gears.... i was hoping for high 11s as well.

your heads flow alil better than mine tho

Yep, the 4" silicone rubber hose should do the trick.
