It indicates that the fitting to the throttle body may be to small for the SVT appliction. "Eagles may soar high, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."

Now thats out of the way, i had a little fun with my friends SVT....We took his stock air box off and put his friends K&N intake system on. (his friend has a cougar) well fist off, it didn;t really fit, we needed to use a silicon hose connecter to keep it on (why i do not know, but it was a real tight fit on his friends cougar..difficult to get on and off), We couldn't dyno cause at the time we had no connections, all we had was butt dyno...he said it felt like he lost acceleration, i do drove and it felt bad...then i drove my car which was stock at the time, and it deffinetly felt better than his. We put his stock intake back on and his car seemed to pick up better and elt normal. We got a dyno day comming up soon, if i get a chance, i will dyno my hybrid with it (if his friend still has it) and then with my friends stock intake and see what happens.

I have a GMK Carbon Fiber CAI with a K&N RF-1047, and will be installing it soon Bridge EDIT: My Old Post CSVT Feels Like Heaven Goes Like Hell Profile
