Not at all trying to argue. But...What you said (or the guys at cgp) would be like saying that by putting an intercooler (cooler air) on your car would increase kr and taking it off would decrease kr. There is no way that hotter air reduces kr. No way. And I would have to agree that a HOI would increase flow over any other kind of intake. But there is no way that the amount of flow that is gained would net you any power gains. Maybe if there was 5 times more suction present then there is it may make a small amout of difference but theres not....


1 LB/M is 11.2096 cfm. With my mod list im seeing right at 43 LB/M of flow at 17 psi. So 43 LB/M x 11.2086 =482.0128


A 4'' DIA 4' long pipe can flow 482.0128 cfm's no problem...even if it has a damn figure 8 tied into it.



Now if we had a cone on the tb then your engine could only pull the amount that the air filter would allow...same here...can our filters flow 482 cfm's?

If im wrong im sorry i have searched and convereted measurements for about an hour now and this is all i could come up with
