Workhorse review (for those who haven't seen it)
This is some older reviews I've written on other sites...I didn't see a product review section so i am posting them here.
Well this past week I installed an AEM Workhorse and removed the Brute Force that I was currently running for the past 6 months or so. The truck has been through a couple changes since the the Brute Force was installed but luckily it was on the dyno about three days prior to the Workhorse install, and once again this weekend. So, I posted some initial thoughts of the unit which were all on the positive side. So now here are the numbers and pictures of the installed product (several of course).
Prior to Workhorse Best: 534.6rwhp and 1016 tq.
Temps in the high 20's with Humidity around 54%
(Mods in Signature)
Workhorse Best: 541.2rwhp and 1027 tq.
Temps in in the low 30's with Humidity around 49%
(Mods in Signature)
Same dyno, same driver, same mods...but different results. Now, the numbers aren't a huge gain but I do have a suprising twist to the results. Peak power with the Workhorse came in nearly 70rpms earlier than the Brute force with a 85 degree lower EGT. Turbo spools nearly the same, the in cab whistle is down just a bit due to the relocation of the filter and the fitment was an A++. The AEM Brute force is an awesome system, but the Workhorse is truely the next level of performance intakes.
