So, I am probably the one that is jacked up here, so please help me out.

On the SDHQ website it says +18 HP and +22 TQ for the aFe Filter.

When I look a the numbers on the dyno sheet is says max TQ stock was 334 and w/ AFE 352. By Pennsylvania math that's +18 TQ.

For HP is has 293 stock and 309 w/ AFE. Thats +16HP.

What am I missing?

Arizona math...
I think we had seen this before...It pays to pay attention. I'm still waiting to see an independent dyno run with there system anyway...

I figured there was no way I was the only person to see it. I looked for an explanation before I posted. Including all 40+ pages of your build Wiz. Awesome work! Wish I had your talent.

If I missed it in another post , I apologize.

From AFE-

There is max and then there is peak.
Peak HP gains are measured at the RPM level that the stock motor made it's highest horsepower. Max HP gains are measured at the RPM level with the greatest gain over stock. Simply: Max is the 'most' or widest range between stock and the intake. Peak is the gain at the vehicle's highest rating.

The numbers that we are providing are max HP and Tq. The dyno lines on the bottom that read 334 & 352 are the peak numbers. Yes I do understand it says Max on the dyno sheet but those are actually the peak HP and TQ numbers. You cannot just subtract the two.

Hope this helps.

I purchased an AFE CAI kit about two days ago and was told by Ryan that none were available at this time. Any updates on shipments, etc.?

Thanks for the quick reponse. Great customer service. As I was ordering the product, Ryan was calling me on my cell to let me know about the product availability. Never had that happen before, thanks again :smiley_thumbs_up::smiley_thumbs_up:

No problem! We have been around now for almost 12 years and we try hard to do the best we can every day!

I have bought a AFE Intake, Vision X Light Bar, and Deavers from SDHQ (Ryan) and there customer service never dissapoints, it seems whatever time it is I can email Ryan and have a responce in 20 minutes....GREAT company to deal with, you dont get this kind of attention from many companies these days, its a nice change.

Just installed an AFE intake on my new 6.2 and there is a bad vibration in the gas pedal. I took everything apart and then reinstalled it and the vibration is still there. To be honest I really didnt care for the fit of this product and wish I had just put a drop in filter in. Any tricks or tips would be great as im ready to take the intake off and put all the stock stuff back on

The tork screws that hold the adapter to the aFe box have to be tight, i used blue lock-tite on those screws, otherwise they will come loose. I still have a little vibration but 90% of it is now gone compared to when i had first installed the system. It will also take about 200-400 miles for the MAF to adjust to the new system.

Using this intake requires and should be ran with a adjusted maf tune for this reason.

It's just a matter of going through all the install steps and making sure you have a tight fit on everything. With the intake install correctly we have no issues what so ever. Where are you located? If near by we would be happy to take a look at it for you.

Negative

Have you data-logged fuel trims after install to confirm? I bet there off since the intake tube is larger than factory tube (aka where the maf sensor is located).

 

[SuperRaptor]

AFE most definitely did do those runs, you think they would ship them knowing that they would lean out people's motors?

If you visit any 5.0 (the new 5.0) mustang forums, you will see a tune is required for cold air intakes such as Steeda and JLT... same applies here is my opinion. Dont get me wrong here AFE intake for the Raptor is still a very nice intake :smileup:

Have you done a tune yet with the aFe intake on the 6.2 Raptor? I have the aFe intake on my truck and was considering one of your tunes. Thanks.:smileup:

From the horses mouth...
The intake kit is designed to work without any additional electronics. The fuel mileage of our test vehicle increased and the LTFT is within factory parameters.

Thanks for the advice. Just installed the aFe intake using the blue lock-tite on the screws holding the adapter to the box. No issues with vibration and everything seems tight. Monitoring the mpg, too soon to tell...

Thanks to SDHQ for the great service:smileup:

The soft rubber boot between the throttle body and the intake tube ripped open today and the truck started sucking air right in the throttle body. Had the trucked towed home (sketchy on the tow truck because of the width) Called AFE and the said they would send me a new one that would be here monday( they had excellent customer service and sent me the parts free of charge), so my truck is sitting in the driveway all weekend.

Im sure everyones first reaction is that I had the hose clamps way over tightened but I was very careful not to. I only used a screwdriver to tighten the stuff up. The problem is the soft rubber boot has metal clamps holding it together and when the stuff gets hot the rubber gets really soft. Not to mention the intake tube is only supported by one little bracket! This is an offroad truck, everything needs to be properly mounted! So combined the sharp sided metal hose clamps with the soft rubber boot, add a lot of heat and jarring and how can it not rip?

Long story short, im gonna go back to stock. The tiny power increase is not worth the drama

Sorry to hear about that.. We would have been happy to help you with the part and get it outta here for you. We use the same AFE style boots with their intakes on our "desert" toys with no issues.. And they get a bigger beating than the most of the Raptors. I wonder if there was just a tear in it that was there from the beginning:4-dontknow:
