Video: Putting JLT Performance’s New RoushCharged Intake To The Test

Developing a cold air intake is a task of its own, but it’s even harder to develop one that can outperform a factory setup like today’s OEM equipment. Take for example, a RoushCharged intake setup, which comes standard on ROUSH Performance superchargers like the 2.3-liter TVS iteration. The folks at JLT Performance set out to engineer a cold air intake setup for RoushCharged 5.0-liter Coyote cars that will outperform the factory stuff. During its tri-round of testing which took place at Revolution Auto out of Rosedale, Maryland, JLT found some rather interesting results using Adam Browne’s personal RTR Mustang, who is the owner of Revolution Auto.

We know the folks at JLT Performance are from a different stroke, and with that comes a different way of testing. In a quick effort to yield even faster results, JLT tested its intake first on Browne’s RoushCharged Coyote Mustang – laying down a “baseline” of 639 horsepower and 552 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels after two consistent runs. Next up was the OEM ROUSH cold air intake without the lid installed, which yielded 626 horsepower and 542 lb-ft of torque. Lastly, they tested the OEM ROUSH unit with the lid installed, resulting in 614 horsepower and 538 lb-ft of torque.

From the results, which was all performed on the same day under the same conditions on a Dynojet dynometer, it looks as if the JLT Performance unit is good for peak gains of 22 horsepower and 14 lb-ft of torque on a ROUSH Performance supercharged Coyote car. If you ask us, that’s pretty impressive for a bolt-on swap. Interested in one for yourself? JLT says these intakes should be available fairly soon.
