It is possible you may loose some HP when the hood is down and the car is running hot. The reason for this is due to the lack of a heat shield. Once the temperture inside the engine bay is hot, the intakes are now sucking in hot air.

With the hood up on a dyno... i bet it does gain a few HP on the top end, while losing a few on the bottom. Essentially your shifting your powerband higher in the RPM range.

I currently have Gen 3's, Stillen CBE and Berk HFC's. I do feel like i gained some up top!
