I heard the results initially and was shocked. So much so that I made Jason to go back to Secret Services and do the run again (after he was all the way back to the shop). Honestly I fully expected the Stillen to win. The bottom line is that reguardless of reaction, these results are legitimate. I checked the temperature myself. If need be I'm sure we can get someone from secret services to verify the legitimacy if anyone would like, they don't care either way.

ok, the question I have is this, the JWT pop chargers and Takedas share the same exact tube shape/location, both lost power, yet this one gains? hmm...

The question which should be asked is how was the AFR for each run (Stillen v. TS)?
Stillen really runs the car lean which hurts it with other mods while the TS (similar to other SRI) keep the stock tune in check. Did you guys get AF numbers?

Okay, 'fess up. You guys inserted a Turbonator in the pipes of the TS intake, didn't you?

I don't think the endgame here has anything to do with "keeping the stock tune in check", though. This car is getting a tune especially designed for the quirks of this setup. So, it only exaggerates the divide between it and the Stillen from here, right?

I think somebody tweaked the dyno a bit when somebody wasnt looking!

It's a funny thing. Most of you guys will swear by dyno results unless of course they don't agree with what you want to see! Then somebody did something tricky, just live with the fact that there could be something better than the Stillen!

I will be the first (maybe Semtex) on the next best thing, but the design of a short ram intake has been proven time and again not to work on this car. Open filters behind the radiator just does not work, yet, especially that high up and close to all the hot air.

SWEET!! I am impressed as I thought Stillen would come out on top.
Question: Would the exhaust mods you had installed affect the outcome of these intakes power wise? Question 2: I would assume that with the hood closed it truly simulated conditions under the hood in the real world heat wise. True? Or would it be worse (not talking bumper to bumper traffic)....

Problem is most dyno's have fans simulating 15-30mph which is like asking someone to take a fitness test in a sauna. Thats why I think shorties lose out alot during dyno tests. Real world data logging means more to me when it comes to testing intakes in this manner.
Anyway - The results dont really surprise me. Its been common practice for ages now that intake makers would have it lean out a bit to make more power. So far, ModShack has it right going with samco style hoses all the way threw. I would like to create a samco hose style intake system in Stillen G3 style. I think that would be the best combo as they seem to repel heat better than the standard aluminum on most of these intakes.
