Anyone using Extreme velocity carb hat?

[WELTERRACER]

I am thinking about switching from my stock procharger carb bonnet to one of the trick looking Extreme velocity carb hats from superior airflow technology..


Is anyone using one, what kind of results have you had, and are they worth the money..

I am also looking to add a intercooler to my car..

I use thier hat with my turbo system.

You'll really want to get rid of that Procharger hat as its much more restrictive than the Extreme Velocity or CSU hats. They have an O-ringed or NON O-ringed design, either will work.

Intercooler is definetly a good addition as well.

I have one and it's well worth the $$$

You should check out turbomustangs.com they have a lot of blow through guys on there, with vehicles other than fords. They should be able to answer any of the questions you have.

If this is the standard one, not like the fying pan, and If you have the room, you can space it up 2". That'll get it right.

Thats pretty much what i thought... they claim i will make around 35 more hp and another 35lbs of torque..

Dennis, you're talking about the regular Procharger hat, right?

If so, do you have any numbers that show how a spacer helps powerwise?

Thanks,

Im curious to hear more info!

I'm running a low rise Procharger hat I've just ordered the EV hat. I'm also looking for carb spacers. Apparently as the boosted air turns a 90deg bend there is turbulance and uneven cylinder/manifold distribution. A baffle in the hat addresses this issue. The height attempts to straighten the flow prior to entering the carb. There is a site with some guys with a Procharged Doge Charger/Challenger experimenting with stock procharger, EV hat and thier own desigh.

The CSU version seems to be similar to the EV externally. The 7 second 1500bhp F3 Procharged 565 inch motor on the 1968 Camaro that won the Drag week competition uses the Steve Morrison Dominator version with inches of spacers/velocity stacks. I guess 3-4 inches of carb spacer would do the same thing. Don't for get to cut a hole in you hood!!!!!!!

I really like my EV hat and the first plastic version made a 30ish HP difference on my car on the dyno. I now have an aluminum one and a different combination, I have not been to the dyno since the first time. A spacer helps the air have time to "adjust" after making the turn into the hat.

So much horse power to gained from a few inches difference in air negotiating a corner (Carb hat). Please see my thread https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=42500

and let me know if think an extra inch of total tubing diameter (3inch to 4 inch) from the head unit to the carb hat will net any gains.

In most cases there are two 90 deg bends at the intercooler. These would no longer be 3" elbows but now 3" to 4" elbow reducers. This must have an effect!!!!!!!! Same with the 3" supercharger outlet, it blows air into a 4" pipe as opposed to a 3". After all most folk upgrade their exhaust systems from 2 1/4" to 2 1/2" to 3" to 4" and so on for a reason. We know the effect of headers, carb spacers, air filters, heads, carb hats, intake manifolds etc so it would be nice to know what effect and how acute the effect would be if intake tubing diameter were increased?
