On the above dyno runs they are using 0 smoothing which NO ONE uses because it counts little tiny momentary spikes and will ALWAYS produce a higher number. Also, the second run is TOTALLY UNCORRECTED, but the first run is DIN (Is this dyno shop on crack? No one uses DIN!) and DIN will aways produce about a 2% lower number. In the end it looks to me like the CAI made ZERO difference when you factor in correction and smoothing.

Sure looks to me like that shop knows how to keep the customers coming back. What they are doing is VERY SHADY. They should save all their runs though and they can go back and overlay them using the SAME correction factor. Hmmm, I wonder why they didn't do that in the first place. LOL

EDIT: LMFAO I just read the dyno shop sold the guy the intake? What a bunch of ********! They knew exactly what they were doing and that's why you don't have the overlay with the same correction factor applied. Oh well, that's one way to make a higher HP number I guess. That is so dishonest.
