RX was on a stock motor...so the gains will appear higher initially. once you start throwing other mods in, the gains aren't seen the same.

example:
Insulator 20HP
LT headers 30HP
CAI 15HP
Tune 13HP
----------------------
78HP (in reality this = 40-60HP(60 on the high side(accounting for dyno variables) and for the M6))

but we know this is not the case...this is what some refer to as "ricer math" . it's taken all of those mod's and then some to make 50-60HP. so for those of us who did the initial testing with MACE, we had all the major bolt ons and tune which gives the appearance of the gains for MACE not being "AS GOOD", but we saw excellent gains in addition to the mods we already have.

this isn't a biased statement, its just the way the numbers add up. im sure RX will see similar results once testing has been done on platforms with similar mods as MACE.

before you know it, we're going to have a "which insulator is better" thread...

good luck, hope this helps
