SCT
SCT Performance Programmers, Tuners, Chips, Monitors, Modules and Calibration Products
SCT was founded in 2003, born of the passion & expertise of a team that cut their teeth in performance shops, racing, vehicle calibration, performance parts manufacturing, and aftermarket tuning. From then on, SCT has devoted itself to the idea that engine tuning and calibration is a critical part of customization, and that enthusiasts should have the power to unlock the performance potential of their vehicles. As a result of its recent merger under Derive Systems, SCT, Bully Dog, Bully Dog Big Rig, and Derive Efficiency brands have integrated into a world-class operation and a dominant force in the automotive technology space. SCT's Business Development and Sales teams believe that customized performance is a key part of drivers optimizing their rides. The SCT team of engineers work hard every day to make advances in supported vehicles, off the shelf preloaded tuning, custom tuning, and dealer support, enabling SCT tuning solutions to continually surpass customer demands.
SCT unlocks greater vehicle performance through ECU calibration, so your vehicle is better equipped to meet your specific needs. We've released performance calibrations for hundreds of vehicle makes and models from Ford, GM and Dodge. SCT calibrations are quickly and easily uploaded to the vehicle's engine control module using their handheld programmer technology. By optimizing vehicle calibrations, SCT tuning unlocks greater vehicle horsepower, torque and drivability. SCT aims to provide top-shelf performance when and where it's needed most, and to continue as the benchmark for aftermarket tuning solutions.

Air Intake and Induction » Intake Manifolds
What is an intake manifold?
The intake manifold is the part of an engine that supplies fresh air to the cylinders. It works with the air intake, throttle body, and fuel delivery system to ensure the proper mixture of air and fuel is being burned by the engine.
What does a performance intake manifold do?
The primary function of a performance intake manifold is to increase air intake and more-evenly distribute the combustion mixture (or just air in a direct injection engine) to each intake port in the cylinder head(s). Even airflow distribution is important to optimize the efficiency and performance of the engine.
Do intake manifolds increase horsepower?
Aftermarket intake manifolds will increase horsepower and can change the rpm range at which the most horsepower is created.
How much horsepower does a manifold add?
Most people see a 15-20 horsepower increase with just an aftermarket V8 intake manifolds. If your vehicle has other aftermarket parts and/or modifications, you may see up to 30 horsepower.
Is a bigger intake manifold better?
An intake manifold designed with larger-area runners will improve the flow at higher engine speeds, but may also slow the filling of the cylinders at lower engine speeds. Longer runners will sometimes impact the power and torque production at lower engine speeds while shorter runners may move the peak torque rpm higher up.
