If we can try to get some more results, we will post them. Unfortunately, I didn't really get much results with this one as far as testing Intake Ait Temps. I do still think the mod can be beneficial, though
Whats the purpose of the hellcat air box? My thought was the hellcat air box would have lessened the AIT. Judging by the video, it doesn't look like it changed the temp. Is there a way to test the volume of air taken in by the air box?
I thought the "tube" portion would act as a Ram Air and cool off Intake Air Temps but it didn't do that at all. Theoretically, it brings in more volume of air but I don't think it's even necessary in a 5.7 application where as the Hellcat requires the extra volume. Still a cool and affordable mod I think, though
The difference is when it's been heat soaked from idling then start accelerating quickly, the IAT will drop much more rapidly than stock helping reducing knock from high load and high IAT events. The "ram air" instantly fills the airbox with near ambient air instead of vacating the heat soaked air volume. He should've made a video of the car idling for 10 minutes then put it in drive and accelerate quickly to show how quickly or slowly it takes the IAT to return to near ambient.

Lets gooooooo!!
Looking forward to a breakdown of the results..some 0-60 testing would be nice as well!
@@0P0M0 perhaps we can convince Agent P (A.P. motorsports) to do some footage on the challenger.

@ThisisForTheTV I didn't think about this. That would have been a good test. Thank you for the input!
