Now that we have a 3.7 section I thought I'd post the results from our testing here.
We got our hands on a 6 speed manual 2011 V6 to do even more testing on and here are the results.
As always, we made a couple back to back base line runs to get a starting point. This car is 100% stock and put down 241 RWHP and 226.9 RWTQ. These are SAE corrected numbers and all dyno runs were done in 4th gear due to hitting the speed limiter in 5th.
We then added the JLT CAI kit and made some more runs. Peak power jumped to 251 RWHP and 236 RWTQ for a gain of 10 RWHP and 10 RWTQ, but much larger gains if 19 RWHP and 24 RWTQ were found throughout the mid range and that’s where you will really feel it.
So we fired up our SCT software and built a custom tune for 87 octane and made another run to see what we could gain as a package. The power was very nice and smooth throughout the run adding 7 HP and 4 TQ, but extended the RPM limit well beyond the factory shut down carrying power all the way.
As mentioned above all numbers here are SAE corrected and done in 4th gear. Many are seeing numbers in the 250 range stock and that is when the dyno operator uses “uncorrected” numbers. We have posted these as well.
We did try to make a 5th gear run and power shot up, but it shut down at 110mph. Which is where it’s shutting down on the 4th gear runs as well. It’s not the RPM limit it hits, but the speed limit. Next time we do some testing I’ll remove the speed limit to get some higher RPM’s, but remember it all about the difference not the over all number.
Thanks

Look at the big power we gained between 3-5k

JLT Performance Inc 2011 Mustang V6 NO TUNE CAI testing.
Several weeks ago we got a hold of a 2011 Mustang V6 with an automatic transmission and started to mock up our cold air intake. Well we had the proto type parts made and got the car back for some dyno testing.
Except for a Magnaflow axle back muffler system the car is bone stock and very impressive, putting down 237 - 238 RWHP and 213-217 RWTQ.
The JLT CAI for the 2011 V6 is a NO TUNE intake, so we removed the stock setup and installed our carbon fiber intake system. All new for the 2011 V6 CAI is our incorporated MAF housing, this makes for a nice clean look, but also makes for a very smooth interior air path with less interruptions from couplers and separate MAF housings. Also new for the 2011 V6 is the large ABS plastic airbox that utilizes the fresh air duct in the grille and seals to the hood.
The next few pulls were amazing, the car responded very well and power jumped to 254 RWHP and 234 RWTQ. We made several runs to back this up and all were within a couple HP of each other. This was GREAT, because we only expected about 10 on the automatic and got 15-18 RWHP and 15-23 RWTQ!!
After we got our data we added a SCT tune to see what it would do. It picked up a few HP and TQ, but the big gain was the raise of the RPM limit. Instead of shutting down around 6k it would rev to 7k+. This and the improved shifts make for a great combo.
We have a stick car to test on, but it’s getting hard to get our schedules lined up right. I hope to have those numbers very soon.
The kit should be ready next month and will be available in Carbon Fiber and painted exact body color.

which could end up being a great open track car.. Figure I would start with the JLT CAI with a tune to follow
