3.5 shootout update with Jet Chip

[factorydusa]

2005 Mag 2.5 SXT with 22" wheels and no other mods
ON ALL CAR RUNS THE FOLLOWING WAS USED:

(1) 93 Oct. Gas (2) Jet Stage 1 chip (3) stock to weapon-r intake


First run ( goes by lowest file number)

Bone stock intake with JET CHIP RUN FILE 11 RED HP 165.95
***
NOTE RUN FILE 10 was a base run that did not have a wire hooked up and was disregarded.**

Second Run

OEM intake NO filter RUN FILE 13 BLUE HP 160.15


Third Run
Factory D style intake RUN FILE 15 GREEN HP 159.78


4th and BEST RUN! RUN FILE 16 ORANGE HP 172.01
Weapon-R Secret Intake


We could no run the WR filter on the other pipes because of outlet size on new filter style. (this is why 1 less run which would have resulted in loss of power anyways)

The clear winner is the WEAPON-R Secret intake being the O N L Y intake in the competiton to actually gain power!!! This is proof you must have a JET CHIP and strongly think exhaust to get max gains for your dollar. The basic JET CHIP only shows a 5+ hp/TQ gain and will be much better with exhaust.

JET stage 2 test was useless with so few mods


Next test: Intake, Chip, Exhaust on same 3.5



Group buy begins today on the WR INTAKE for 3.5 and 2.7 LX's
We will make a deal on chips/intake combos as well as with exhaust for best gains!


OLD NUMBERS SAME CAR MINUS JET STAGE 1!!

Thanks for the update and post. Man we thought you were abducted by aliens or something. The last weeks graph doesnt show up. Thaks for all your effort. I am sure you will see some sales out of the Weapon-R nice piece of work.

[factorydusa]

sorry guys we were so tied up on some new LX parts being made in LA we just got back in 2 days ago to start getting all this info sorted and back to the jet.

I hate suspense too, my apologies

Any idea what the group price will be? Also, got any new pics?

[l1tech]

Am I looking at something wrong, or did just the jet chip with the stock intake make basically the same hp/tq as with no chip. IMO a gain of 2.68hp and 5.63 lb/ft of tq is not worth the price of a jet chip and an intake.

It'll be essentially the same with the superchips and their 87 octane tune,|1tech. The gain will be in the driveability issues, by & large, until you go to the 91 tune, or higher, where the chip/tuner will enable the PCM to give an appropriate timing bump to raise the power. This equates to the stage 2 jet chip.

On the 5.7L motor the stage 2 chip will give noticeably more power, even with only an intake mod, than will the stage 1 chip, as it will credit you with the higher octane fuel and advance timing, and power, accordingly. The same should be true on the V-6 as well.

I'd be surprised if the stage 2 chip would not have given a noticeably larger power gain in this test series than did the stage 1 jet chip, as the 93 octane fuel was essentially ignored by the stage 1.

The higher octane fuel most certainly would not have been ignored by the stage 2 chip, with more power as the totally predictable by product.

[factorydusa]

For max power gains, Stage 2 WR intake and exhaust system (and others of course)

Stage 1 should be road driven to see the difference, it was noticable all over the shift points and WOT for sure

The WR had by far the best sound and you can hear the noise barrel through the system

THIS TEST is to prove that the majority of intakes cannot make power EVEN with a chip and NOT ONE can make power without one, it is impossible

[Charger SXT]

Sweet! Can you get the cover in red?

Also, any info on price yet, with and without the JET chip?

[Meister]

Wow, David.

What beautiful routing and craftsmanship.

She's looking so sweet.

You're the man, to be delivering this to the long-neglected V-6 LX community.

Group buy cost??? :> INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW!!!

No really, how much? :>

JET stage 2 test was useless with so few mods

I'm not sure I understand this comment. Meister, you say that the Stage II with 91 octane,CAI,exhaust will give best bank for the buck and FactoryD says the above quote.

Whats best here? Stage I or Stage II?

Help me understand

[factorydusa]

We were using information given by JET.

They said the stage 2 has too advanced AF ratios to affect a stock exhaust system.

LONGHORN and I are getting together soon to put all the goodies on his car and I'll eat the DYNO fee to show the gains

stage 2 WR intake Exhaust Thermo upgrade


THANKS MEISTER.


GB prices and info TOMORROW in our section and vendor

[ASU_Magnum]

meister correct me if im wrong here but, with the stage I shouldnt 89 still have been used?

factoryd, do you have any plans to run a car that has a stage II, free flow exhaust, and intake? I think the stage II would have significant boost. not sure what longhorn has on his car but I would really be interested in seeing this.

Right now my Mag is completly stock, well it does have the K&N Drop in but it's going away, FDUSA and I are going to be putting exhaust, the WR Intake, Stage 2, and thermo then we will see from there.
