15* difference for the cost of ceramic coating?
Which is $300-600 depending on what you're having done.
3% power loss from higher IAT.
(high estimate based CAI_Primer_Thermal as well as assuming that the external temp of the intake tubing is the same as the internal... which it probably isnt.)
280 CHP.
3% is 8.4 HP.
*.80 for 6.72 whp.
Was looking at ported blowers on 540 WHP CTS-V... He gained 20 WHP.
3.7% increase.
so 3.7 on 280 is 10.36 CHP.
8.3 WHP for the cost of a ported blower. (free to 500 for ZZP)
Interesting when you put into perspective the cost of these mods for the gains you achieve.
