Science Abuse Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 Didn't some one else try this years ago, but failed to get a consistent tune out of it? Anyone know about these? There's a short and a long runner, apparently. http://tunertools.com/prodimages/BBK/5001_small.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedfocus1647545489 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I remember the one you're talking about, but can't remember the name of the company. I talked to them at length one year at PRI when it was still in Indy. They had a few different endcaps also, one was tunable in that you could change how much plenum are was open inside each end of the plenum by moving the inside wall of the cap in and out. It was a really neat design, but I think it was probably just too expensive to catch on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 BXR, yeah that's it. I really considered it but at the time even a good deal on it was $700+ with the hi-torque endcaps. As for experience with the SSI, I have none but have heard alot of people making plans to use them on road race cars... but still haven't seen any testing that shows it to do anything noticeably special over the standard design.

Science Abuse Posted October 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 I've seen write-ups on the short runner units, but can't find them for sale. http://www.mustang50magazine.com/techarticles/m5lp_0603_bbk_ssi_r_intake/index.html Looks interesting, especially considering that I am looking at this for a road race car.

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 JEGS should have them soon. Right now their ETA on #5008 (kit w/ rails) is 11/5. I wouldn't take that as gospel, but it's a good indication that it shouldn't be long. That one does seem like a good choice for higher rpm applications. Plus it's cheap ($579.99).

Scotty2Hotty Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 The SSI's from what I was told make great upper RPM power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 k.... are you buying? May be a next-winter project. Magazine tests have liked them, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedfocus1647545489 Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 If you want the R model (the one you linked) you had better hurry. There's only one left in the warehouse. http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/1poke.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
