Howard bolts the Mass Airflow Meter sensor element into the AEM intake tube.
Howard slides the tube in place and installs the filter element.
Just tightening all the hose clamps and slipping on the PCV line and the install is done.
The AEM Short ram is a nice looking system.
The Z is strapped down to the Superflow chassis dyno.
The AEM Short Ram intake made more top end power as expected but surprisingly held its own by making a little more power from 3000 to 4700 rpm as well. The dyno results were unusually repeatable for a late model car as well with run after run all coming in within one hp of each other. The AEM intake put out 239.4 hp @ 6750 rpm and 207.3 lb ft of torque at 5050 rpm. This is a gain of 4.1 hp and 0.2 lb/ft of torque over the Injen intake with an off brand filter. Note, an Injen with the correct filter may perform better than ours did.Stay tuned, we will be testing AEM's cold air long intake next.
