AFE intake group buy

I contacted the manufacturer to validate the claimed gains everyone has been advertising on the AFE intake.

According to AFE the claimed numbers of 27hp and 34tq are based on dyno results with a STOCK BMW 335 on a Mustang Chassis Dyno.

They throw out the high and low dyno results and test until they have 3 consecutive graphs that are within 1hp and have the same basic curve.

I have contacted several vendors to set up a group buy and think we can get a decent deal. PM me for price.

We need 7 people to make this work, if you are interested please add your name to the list. Once we have the minimum 7 then I will organize the actual purchase.

$315 SHIPPED!!!!!

I had one independent tell me they saw a gain of 20hp and then the AFE claimed 24hp.

Nick thanks for the offer but I already have a price lined up ($315 shipped).

Did any one actually see a AFE dyno (in stock form) more than 15 hp/tq gain?

I had the AFE's installed a while back and did a dyno last month with no chip/ECU mods. I was kicking out 321Bhp on the dyno. The graphs are on the UK forum under Evolve posting. Tuner said they were the highest they had seen on a .35i engine to date. Some say the AFE's actually lose power, I can't say they did for me, they appeared to gain power.
