I have heard of gains over 56 RWHP with just a CAI and tune on a GT500 long ago, this is no surprise to me
Yeah and a TUNE! No pulley change for added boost,they ran the stock ECU flash so no adjustments to spark advance,fuel trims,MAF transer curves etc.. If this bolt on actually makes 56RW without any other adjustments (do you AT least have to disconnect the battery?)it should sell like Hotcakes!
All I can say is that I believe the video as it was sent to me, and knowing that other CAI's without MAM's showed similar HP increases (with tunes) I feel confidant others experiences will be similar. I'm sure BBK isn't going to say "we guarantee you'll get 56HP more without a tune when you bolt on this All Aluminum High Flow Mass Air Meter Cold Air intake combo kit" when the item is finally released. But i bet they stand behind what happened in this instance with this vehicle without any funny business going on. BBK just isn't like that. I too look forward to seeing others horsepower increases. But for a quick bolt on like that, you gotta admit anything even close is a powerful increase.
I suspect that the air filter size is limited by the amount of space under the hood. If you watch the video, it's replacing a flat filter and flat filter box, and going into the same location. I don't know for sure, that's just my guess.

Exciting GT500 news from Brothers Performance and BBK!
GT500 owners check out these numbers: BBK has just finished Dyno testing their ALL new High-Flow Aluminum Mass-Air/ Cold-Air Induction kit for the 2007-2009 Ford Mustang GT500 with some great horsepower results! The Cold Air / Mass Air combination gave BBK’s test vehicle 56additional horsepower and 33 ft/lb of torque over stock from the simple 30 minute bolt-on installation. Note that those are realrear wheel numbers! Now that’s "Bang for the Buck"!! BBK anticipates shipping this part later this month - But you can pre-order NOW from Brothers Performance and get Free Shipping and be first on our shipping list!
The testing I did on the BBK CAI definitely produced interesting results...56/33 @ the wheels on both of our test cars.
The filter we use may not be the longest filter in the world, but it fits perfectly in the corner of the engine bay while still accommodating for the stock inlet hose. It has a huge base and the opening is so big that we had to have it custom made. It looks as if Dave's filter is similar in size.
The gains shown are actual, at the rear wheels on a Dynojet 248c.
No adjustments to the correction factor were made as BBK has a very strict policy about dyno #'s and making sure they are accurate before being posted or even discussed over the phone or via email.
In my 5 years in the R&D/Tech Support position (on top of years of other duties here), I've spent countless hours explaining dyno results over the phone and via email....
The last thing I want to do is give out inaccurate info here or in a video that can be seen by anyone in the world. Me giving out one little tiny bit of incorrect info about dyno results or anything else we make would end up as a never ending stream of phone calls and emails that I personally would have to address.
You can be absolutely sure I would never fudge or exaggerate any numbers or data for any reason. It would be suicide by time consumption....
By the way, if you look at the car on the dyno and the car at the end doing the burnout in the video, you can see that they are the same color, but they are 2 different cars as shown by the license plates. The car at the end is also running BBK springs so it has a much lower ride height.
