Intake questions

JARblue

Sounds like a lot of work to go number chasing such minimal gains. But innovation is a good thing. Sub'd for results

THE BULL

It's a lot of obsessiveness from my end and that not many folks go this route.

After many dyno runs, tuners opinions and personal experience I feel like there's something to it.

The Q50 is what provides most of the research since these members cant just throw some pipes behind the grill yet making over 330 is something common in their world like VHRs with many bolt ons except for airboxes.
Then I see tuned dyno runs of VHRs with CBE on stock paper filters hitting 314whp which could have been a bit close to the 320 with some drop ins.

Lastly if any of you is familiar with Eventuri, 90% of their intake designs for most vehicles are a huge box with a panel filter being fed by the biggest intake pipe they can fit after they've scanned the bay into a tapered housing of the right size. They make them in carbon to lower the probability of radiant heat affecting air temps.

THE BULL

A piece of data that would help me tremendously is for those folks with the ability to read their data like ECUTEK, UPREV, OBD scanner to document their MAF volumes during part and wide open throttle

Either Gallons per minute/sec or Liters per minute/sec either or.
This way I can compare with what I get on my end.

I like to think that my setup can surpass a 2.5 cold air setup but dont think a it will for a 3in

Sorry for late input to this thread.

Your thoughts resonate with me as I have Invidia exhaust and AAR hi-flow cats, but just stock airbox that I'm going to drop K&Ns into then get an Uprev tune done in a couple of weeks - so in summary, I'm not buying into the full aftermarket air intake solution.

So your thoughts still the same - aftermarket air intake not really worth the cost/effort?
