Ok, but that only shows all 3 parts tested together. How much of that does each component adds or takes away from the total? It's hard to say if the filter adds or takes away. It could easily be that the filter takes a few HP and the others adds whatever the filter takes away and then a few more. I was looking for dyno runs with only the addition of the intake/filter only.


Is there a proof that an addition of ONLY the open element cone filter sitting inthe engine bay adds anything at all?

How much power do you think a coil pack and wires add?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but would the temperature difference between the the first and last two runs not make up for most of that power differential? 20 or so degrees is not insignfigant.

Well Intakes are designed to draw more air from a cooler area on the car.
Pretty much the reason people move them outside of the engine bay.
If the runs were all done on the same day and that tempurature is from the IAT and not ambient,
I would have to say that the intake made that HP.
If that's ambient temprature then yes some of those gains wouldn't be from the intake only.

All values are corrected to a standard base temperature and barometric pressure.
