Does anyone have the dyno numbers for an SS with the GMPP Kit with no other engine mods and another dyno run with the Secret Services, Dejon, K&N intakes with no other mods?

Thanks! Good article. A 0.14% improvement by using the K&N.

Are the SS intake custom order only? I was thinking about picking one up before my Trifecta tune, so it could be custom tuned after I send the log back to Vince for corrections?

Results of one test, does not go equally across the board.

If you expect a gain with a drop in filter, you probably have no need to make the switch. He fails (again) to mention the the benefits of making the switch ($$$$ in the long run). "Bob" is always good for a

Another "bob" fail....

I don't believe it is a fully bolt-on solution. I believe mods are required to the core panel (as in, cutting a large hole in it).

Also, at least from the pics I've seen installed (I haven't seen one in real life), it's subject to drawing in ambient air from under the hood as well, depending on the pressure front coming through the hole I mentioned above. So, when the car isn't moving, it's not really a CAI.

Bob may be incorrect, but it is a test with before and after data. I have yet to see anyone post dyno numbers before and after just the K&N. Makes you wonder why?
