Lol, that is definitely an option on the table considering that I do sheetmetal work. It is ultimately Vluc's intake, and that would probably affect resale (should that be the route he goes) due to the much smaller audience.

I got the dyno charts emailed and finally had a chance to get them downloaded. Here be they is-






Dyno runs 1 and 2 were with my previous setup, just run again to have same-day data for comparison.

Dyno runs 3 and 4 were with the K&N intake installed (approx an hour between runs 2 and 3 for install)

Run 5 was after disconnecting the battery, and was a bit less. I would imagine that after the car adjusts it's fuel trims and timing that everything would be normal again. I wish I hadn't done it (outside of the data reasoning) because now I gotta get my transmissions learn on again...lol.

Sorry that they are all located on the same sheet, just posting what he sent me. Some day I'm going to download the Dynojet program and all of the files so that I can pick and choose what data I want to look at and compare.

So...who's bringing the Steeda or AEM...

Interesting data. I would love to see a Steeda or K&N with the other mods piped in to the enclosure.

I am curious as to how the would affect the fuel mileage data. I don't think it would affect dyno numbers because of the hood-up condition.

Its really fun to watch the car freak out on the rollers. YOU'RE GOING OVER 100MPH WITH YOUR HOOD UP AND PARKING BRAKE ON!!!

Probably, and colder and more compressed air, I am reducin a 3" to 1" to precompress the air.

I see better power from about 2500+ over the plain steeda. I guess I need a new 0-60 video to compare times, see if it is faster than before.

I don't see where the Typhoon curve dips below the Newmission at 4.2K RPM. It appears to me from this image that it is equal or above the Newmission, down to ~3.8K RPM.

Yes, you're right. I thought I went back in to edit it. I was trying to make a quick post and considered the two to basically be about a draw from 3.8k to 4.2k. Technically, the loss of power is below 3.8k.

True, but as dyno was saying, how many people run at 3.8K unless they are accelerating at a high speed. I dunno, I'd like to see a bump in tq and hp between 3K and 4.5K, but I'm not sure that is currently possible. I'm no expert on engines.

I will say the pull on the K&N between 4K and 6K is good.

I have to agree, it is very noticeable to me. Once the K&N gets past it's low point, it has very smooth and linear pull to redline.

Also worth noting is that I have the go-ahead to Newmission the intake...

That's what I want to see.

It also should be mentioned that the mods done behind the upper grille to get more air into the factory snorkle(s) has probably added to the effectiveness of the K&N on your car. I know it helped when I did it to mine even before the other mod.
