i found the IATs with the stock intake to be between 120-135 degrees during testing, one fan in front of the car. the roto fab was at all times at least 10 degrees or more less than the stock airbox temps. like said above, at idle and low RPM the two IATs were similar, but as the car started drawing more air the temps dropped noticably further than the stock setup.
i have no reason to falsely claim power for this system... i dont sell them, i didnt get mine for free. im just posting accurate results to help better discuss the actual improvement of an aftermarket intake system on the camaro. i did the dyno runs for my personal knowledge (but figured id share seeing how big of discussions have risen from these CAI testings), and will do at least three baseline runs for each product i install. i saw consistant gains, in between what ted and rotofab saw. i feel they both are accurate, and dont understand why there is so much critizism over the different results.  |
I don't understand it either, the explanations from Ted and Mike have been understandable and I think you are right that each of the tests are accurate given the conditions, testing equipment etc. I think there are some who would argue 2+2=4...Thanks for the info.
