I said "most." Now you are trying to strawman me. Not going to work I am afraid. You can't change what I said just to make it easier for yourself.



Magically they mistakenly used their dyno software in exactly the way that would show the most gains to someone that didn't know what they were looking at. I am sure it was purely accidental even though there were 50 other ways they could have mistakenly used the software that would have shown the largest gain. Just coincidence I guess.







Great, you have posted 4 dynos.



That's what every angry person says when he becomes frustrated by logic.



The funniest part is you called me the "angry guy!"



Please, don't go on a shooting spree over a debate about the effectiveness of air intakes.

My god, what would you do if you actually had to argue about something important? This is why everyone today is on Prozac this and Zoloft that. They get so worked up over the most meaningless ****.

Goosfraba man, goosfraba. You may want to try one of these before you have a heart attack:

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.
