Haha it's ture though why else would this intake cost so much??? Its name brand like what my first statment said. You would think if your spending 5x more for a part it would at least put down some decent numbers. I thought HKS is supposed to be a bad *** company??? I guess just not in the intake side of things. If you have a better Analogy for HKS let me know. : ) Im sticking to my expensive clothing analogy.

Just placed an order for this intake so as soon as I get it I will post pictures for all to see. Does anyone know how much a dyno run cost in Texas??

Where in Texas?
Dyno dynamics in Houston I used was 85USD for three runs (so add 8.25% for tax).

All depends if you care about "break in" procedure. I gradually took my car above in the RPMs as I got closer to 1,500 miles, was on the dyno around 2,000 the first time I think.

Nice, now are you going to do before and after dynos to see what the gains are or just after the instillation?

Yes I pan on it if I can find a place to do a run for under 100. Even if I dont get that much power out of this set up I wont be that mad, I plan on selling them later on after 30,000 miles and adding turbo or supercharger. I am thinking of getting a vented hood so I can try to get a little bit of cold air to them. Does anyone think this is a good idea. Also found a place to buy a HKS ex. for 1780 plus tax. in the h-town but I want to do a dyno before I add the intake.

Light rain will be nothing, but the heavy rain Texas can get during certain parts of the year will be bothersome. Do you have a second car for on heavy raining days?

No I dont but I drive from garage to work which is on the 9th floor parking so yes totally covered as well. Just worried about to and from work thats it(about 2 hours of driving, 1 hour there 1 back)! Also I think it might make alot easier to steal. Sorry for spelling on Iphone.

I normally would not recommend a vented hood on a DD, maybe one you are closer to turning into your weekend toy at 30,000 miles.
