REVi installed on Automatic
This morning we installed the Racing Beat intake on a 2004 Automatic 8 w/25000 miles on the clock. Mods include R/B cat back, SR pullies and N flash. No Dyno numbers but the owner of the car said he felt the difference immediately and will give us feedback after aweek or two on the road. The fitment is perfect as it is on 6spd models and is easier w/out fog lights and vfad.
This one will most likely not get dynoed but I will post feedback from the cars owner when I hear back from him.

The pulleys did produce any noticeable difference in feel on my 6spd car but the owner of the automatic said they helped on his. We did not dyno after just the pulleys.

hey marietta, got any pics of your 87? I was just curious as to whether or not they would help, seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding the effectiveness of them etc.., some people say this, some people say that, you know how it goes

Car is in the shop this week. Adding boost controller, turbo timer, & new Greddy map, dynoing, etc. Hopefully the new map will solve the backfiring issue. If not I will see if my mechanic can fine tune the map, & if that doesn't work then I will probably just put the stock cat back on. Very strange, random order sometimes it is OK, not too much backfiring. other times (like when you went drove the car, it backfired quite a bit.

Of note, underdriving the water pump will reduce cavitation at high RPM's. This won't really be an issue unless the car is raced and kept at high rpm for long periods. A good explanation is in the Racing Beat catalog under cooling system tech tips.
Anyway tell me what you want pics of and I'll put them together for you.

Customer called me this am and is totally thrilled with the intake. He said the power is noticeably improved and the sound is great. By the way, this guy is in his 50's.
