It's carbon fiber, you don't need a heat shield.

That is what I'm telling you but I didn't baseline my car. I'm going off of a 2007 bone stock SRT8 charger that dynoed on the same day on the same dyno. This was also the can diablo tune. Conditions were about 93* and 60% RH.

That doesn't sound like an accurate way to state the HP gains on first, your stock motor, and then Predatored and CAI'd, using somone elses car for a baseline HP number.

I would be interested to see somone's gain in HP who first dynoed their motor stock and then added the Predator 93 octane upgrade and then the CAI.
I thought, from what I've read here, that people were getting more than 10HP.

I think this is why some of us have decided to wait to purchase a CAI or the Predator. We are waiting for some dyno proven numbers so we can see what the Predator and then the CAI can do to enhance the performance of our SRT'S.

Anyone??
Just making it sound better with the intake is one thing, but I think I would do this mod to gain HP.

well that's the best I got. It was a free dyno pull so I took what I could get. Does it feel like more than 10 hp, yes, but do I have any proof, no.

I know that there has to be some gain with the Predator.

well, CF is fine, the filter isint shielded, considering the MASSIVE heat the engine generates, the filter is just sucking in hot air from the engine, since its not shielded in any way like lets say k&n systems and more, or directed under the bumper/wheel

The filter doesn't need to have a box around it either. Under hood air temps are not important what so ever...and has been proven in the past. One reason why the Air Hammer has no shroud.

The only time under hood temps matter is when stopped...as soon as you start moving again temps drop back down. Quantity of air is more important. For best performance temps you MUST ice the intake manifold...the air getting in there becomes way hotter before it gets into the combustion chamber than going through a pipe ever thought of.

So if you want to waste the extra money on a filter shroud go ahead but you'd be better off spending it on something useful.
