I need your advice
#1
Hello chaps,
Tomorrow I am having a Scoobysport exhaust & ramair fitted. However, I had a conversation with Graham Goode Racing this morning that may have convinced me that a back box and filter are not going to reap any more than a handful of BHP. I must admit that I was under the impression that by fitting these items I might get to about 230bhp.
I would really appreciate some comments please before I part with the best part of £400 out of my sky rocket.
Cheers
Benny

Youre best course of action is to check the rolling road figures mentioned in previous threads, Adam has some at http://www.ifeng.demon.co.uk/scooby and Steve B has some on his web page, these give full figures in as uncomplicated a way as poss, normal scoobs on ramair and ss giving around the 240 bhp mark ???

The rolling road figures i mentioned were all taken on the same day, same conditions within an hour or so of each other, so should be pretty consisitent, normally i would take them with a pinch of salt too if not on the same day.

Whether GGR are correct or not (I personally think they are being a little pessimistic), as you go about increasing the engines performance, a free-flow filter will ALWAYS be required and therefore you will have lost nothing by getting one. The only issue with a backbox is that you may at some later date replace it with a full system. Apart from that the same applies. Bigger step power improvements based on ECU/boost modifications, water injection etc all benefit from free-flow input and output.

We hope tomorrow to run a car and then fit the Scoobysports and Airfilter straight afterwards.
Pete doesnt sell this package as a major performance mod. My guess is 6-10bhp. It is the pickup that really changes though. I noticed it most when I refitted the original exhaust when selling the car.
