Injen Intakes Installed! Pics, Vids, Dyno

The problem with that is that you are working under the assumption that power is a linear measure, but it's not. Since it's not a linear measure and since both dynos use different assumptions in calculating power output, we can't compare that way.

What we can say is that, on a DynoJet, expect around a 15whp gain. On a DynoDynamics machine, expect less. I'm sure a Mustang dyno would give us totally different readings as well.

Either way, you blow thedreamer's results outta the water!

IMO, he had no net gain or loss when you factor in error. If he reset his ECU, maybe he'd see a small net positive gain. But I'm in the camp that believes that the short-tube intakes are NOT going to provide any measurable gains over the stock intakes, which we have proven are very efficient up to a nearly redline. Long-tube intakes don't even see gains over stock until very high up in the range because the stock system is that good.

% isn't linear. It is the way I have read nearly everywhere to analyze gains on any dyno. % increase over base.

You know what I mean... Dyno A doesn't consider one unit of power the same as Dyno B. % gains are going to be most useful if you're comparing two different Dyno's of the same make. I don't really think that kind of comparison is going to hold up across different dyno's since their methods of measuring power are totally different. Not to mention all the correction factors that go into a Dyno Dynamics vs. something like a DynoJet which is very basic.

true, and my knowledge of both dyno's is still limited, as I have not taken the time to dyno my car and learn the differences. Just seemed to me like something was out of whack when Tony as only 5hp higher than you with full breather mods.

anyways, like I said, not trying to argue with ya

btw, not trying to start an argument or anything, just going off of what I have learned about dyno's in the past.

I wish all dyno's would get calibrated to the same measurements so we didn't have to try and compare apples to oranges

Oh, no problem at all! I think it's just important that we all understand the differences involved. I don't want people saying, "Injen says +15whp but Steve only got 6.9 whp, they are totally lying!" Or people saying, "The Stillen G3 gets +18whp but the Injens only get 6.9whp!"

That's just not healthy.

thats why I wish we could get some dyno shoot-outs on the most popular setups. manufacturers all mail their setup to one person who dedicates a day at the dyno. do some baseline pulls, then part a, then part b, then part c...etc.

compare all the graphs and you know you are finally looking at consistent data.

Until then (which will likely be never), go with your gut feeling on which part will work best for you!

Guess I need to just decide to go with Injen or Stillen now, gains look good, will probably wait until my exhaust is one my car before I buy a different intake. Thank you for doing the dyno and getting results.

good luck with a new setup dreamer, hopefully takeda offers to reimburse you or something like that.

Well I'm out for right now guys, I have to go and pick up my new living room furniture. Be back to play later.
