One other thing about the ADM I was wondering about.. When I was installing the ADM I noticed the seal between the back of the CAI box and the fender was missing in my kit. I called and asked why and was told that it was found that the ADM performed better with the air gap.. It was Thur. and I had 45 min. to get to work, so I didn't have time to really question it, just finish the install and got going. I was looking at the gap between the back of the ADM box and fender this weekend (starts with no gap at bottom and increases to about 1/2 of an inch near the top). Not trying to be anal but if the car is at a stop in traffic, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of an enclosed filter? I only bring this up because I haven't heard anyone talking about removing the seal for performance reasons. Any takers on this subject?

Our data was at the track with the scoop.On the street in sitting still traffic (were HP is less of a concern
) there might be a slight increase in temp.
Overall,we just did it for the gains at the track and decided to eliminate it.
As for the other comment about ours versus theirs...They have a bigger filter!
How much power difference was there?
