i went to ct web sit and they say that there pipe, jet, and k&n pro-flow will add 38 horse power to a stock raptor is this true?

and for those of you that have put bigger carbs in your raptors do you put one big one in or 2 medeum sized ones in?
thanks

 

anybody?????

 

I dont beleive that is true. If that was, you would be getting close to 70 hp with a pipe and filter and jets. That would be some magic jets.

I just dont beleive it. I think you might see about 40-45 with any pipe, filter and jetting spot on.

My 2 cents

According to their dyno charts, you get over a 30HP gain at redline over stock. It's not 30+ HP gain at peak HP.

 

i do like my pipe a lot but that is a lot of power they claim ..i know it adds a ton though..im still undecided on carbs..i dont know if it wan tto get twin 35mm fcr or if i want i edelbrock the only reason i would go w/ edelbrock is for easy jetting

 

Magic has it right.

The website said the biggest gain was around 30 hp through the RPM range. When you look at the dyno comparison Here, look at the biggest gain RPM, around 8500 RPM. See where the stock is only putting out 9.4 hp, and the CT puts out 41.5. That is where they are talking a 30 hp difference. The peak hp difference is around 7100 hp where they see 49.2 as compared to 33.6 hp peak at 6000 stock.

The pipe kit is very good. You could probably get close to the same output using another pipe setup, but you will need to buy the parts and try to get the jetting bang on. The benefit of the ct 'kit' is they supply you with everything you need to get that HP/torque gain.

I am very happy with my kit, and they only complaint is the finish on the pipe. It isn't stainless, or something similar, so it looks kind of dull. But, you have to keep up to see it....
