You can't run a cold air induction with the C&L meters. I've had customers combo the smaller diameter DENSECHARGER with the PRO-M meters. We didn't feel that the performance increase justified the expenditure, but in all fairness to PRO-M if you do upgrade the throttle body at the same time as the meter, ie. a matched set, you will achieve much larger gains.
The Bullitt intake system was designed and built through racing. I wish I had the Bullitt system on my 5.0. It is state of the art. We've got to remember this is a 286 c.i. engine. When it comes on cam around 4500- 5800 there is no way you'd believe this is only a 286. Conversely my simple 55mm MAF system, the forerunner to the 80mm current systems, still works perfect after 140,000 miles, with only cleaning my K&N once a year. Just ten years ago how many people would have believed an intake system would be so efficient that the spark plugs could go 100,000 miles!
I thought it interesting in the current 5.0 magazine issue the article on the Saleen 427 motor for the S-7. Guess what meters sit atop the carbon composite intake? The factory meters in a twin configuration setup. They're going to run just a single meter on the road version of the S-7. I imagine Steve Saleen could use any set up he desired on this motor. The factory meter will support 485 hp.
The Cobra owner who has been using the 3" system with the 87mm PRO-M is now installing the 100MM system and will dyno the results. this will be with the factory twin TB so the results will be indicative of what to expect without having the expenditure required for upgrading the whole MAF system. I'll let everbody know the results.
