We've seen plenty of dyno numbers on these intakes already. They make a solid 15 rwhp on the top end and all through the mid range power band. If you lose any power it's well below your power band and shouldn't have any effect on a race. Also, 15 rwhp on a car making over 550 hp isn't something that should make a night and day difference. It's about a 2% power gain to kind of put it into perspective. If you really want to feel a big jump in power you'll need to look into long tube headers or some pulley work! |

^...and to that end, I understand your point, but I would like to ad that long term experience and the ability to articulate/express into words, and have visceral feel are different things. Perspective is reality is the saying. They vary wildy. Therefore proven methods of documenting and repeating results is key, such as in a scientiific method. Dyno pulls are a good source, and granted they vary somewhat due to the technology, but they are real world. Also someone who is very good at doing something may not be able to translate that ability, give feedback, or discriminate enough between what is noticeable and what is not. Semantics to a degree, ones perception versus reality another. However, some are locked in, plugged in, or in tune to a point with something to the degree that they are able to distinguish between fine differences of performance and can differentiate between them. Dynos are good, and an additional 100 HP is even better, but a driver with enough seat time and experience can relate to the changes in performance up or down the scale readily.

Then I added headers, cat delete, and crank pulley, then the butt dyno picked up the 60 hp and tq gain!

Noticed after I've added some miles after the mod .. its pulling now. I think what happened was the ecu took some time to re map it self trimming the fuel and extra air that it is getting. It took me by surprise today.. i had it on 2nd gear from start sitting at a light. when i took off the back tires broke loose. I put down some serious smoke. If i hadn't let up on the gas i think it would have continued leaving a trail of white smoke all the way across the intersection.

Put the stock air box back in and get it dyno ed, then put the roto-fab in and dyno the car again.... There's your answer. |
