Not to mention we all know Short rams either make negligible gains or lose power. The same car with the same setup will produce +- 7hp on different runs. So in all honesty, you're not going to be able to tell whether your car gained or lost power from the short rams regardless. You're gonna have to do a few runs at the same temperature get the average, then switch them out and drive around with those for a few miles, then come back and do a few runs at the same temp, average that and compare. Even then, the rest of the mods increase the deviation from run to run so much that its impossible to get any sort of conclusive results about the performance of the R2C.
Agree - if there were any gains from the R2C, they were not really noticeable. Even if I gained 10HP, the butt-dyno did not notice it. It did score on looks and sound. Also the filtration seems to be top notch and easy to clean. The crazy thing is that apparently the same intake on a G37 netted more HP than the Stillen G3. See attached graph.
