There is a big difference on the street that a novice could tell. Remember back in the day when I offered to drive 6 hours to let you try out the Vararam? And you don't even have one of my least favorite street tested intakes.
And the IAT test was done, but the information wasn't left out for people to see. It's not hard to do since there are breakouts for the IAT sensor. For some reason people like to put those in the box itself to trick the computer versus accurately tuning or getting a better performing intake.
Hmmm, if I had any plans for more modding, I know what the VR spacer might be good for. Temp probe access.
I may be testing one more item but after that I'm done. No point spending money to research a particular product catagory, when in the end no one really cares how it compares. Most are going to get whatever and assume they got best for their application. As long as they have nothing to compare it to, then it is the best in their own mind. Ignorance is bliss (not meaning that in a bad way). Had I kept the first CAI I bought and never had the urge for something better, I'd be money ahead and content with the lack luster results, and assuming that all intakes were like that.
Not in may nature be like that though. It may be a curse.
