all the conflicing reports is why i have a k&n dropped into my stock box.
maybe one day when i have the time, money, desire and curiosity to burn perhaps i will settle this. then again, maybe not.

Not to be rude, but its quite amusing reading about all these setups and claims, but no one has a dyno graph to back themselves up, so in reality, no one knows for sure if their setup is really working.
I know from previous cars, sticking a filter on the end of the MAF will loose you power,
A. from Hot air and B.Turbulence/Velocity.
A cold air, ie filter in the fender, will loose low end, but gain high end.
A. Ram air --true ream air, ie from bumper to throttle body will work better if correctly routed.

Sorry but the "I felt a difference does not work!"
Try looking in the drag/dyno forum  ..it HAS BEEN known by damn near evry CEG'r that the RU3530 does increase hrsp, and using a heatshield, Aftermarket MAF, or sealed airbox w/ cold draw from the fender snorkel, or all of the above, etc. helps more.

That's fine, but if this is suppose to be a thread about which intake setup is better, it is no use 'just saying.' If people would back up their claims, it would be that much better. Just seems logical to one.
I am not doubting the setup you listed, but just the simple fact that it is all opinion thus far in the thread.

I just tried a search and no threads about an Intake being dyno tested over others.

There are dynos out there. And the K&N with MAF adapter showed gains over the stock SVT airbox.
I bet DemonSVT has them somewhere.

hey arsenal i am sorry!...i must no be a rich lil mo fo like you. Cause i do not have the money to go put my car on the dyno, just to see if an intake setup i installed on my car made more hp or not. Sorry but when it comes to an intake "I felt..." is good enough for me!

ha, Well I guess its the way to determine if you are really making power or not.
A. you don't have to be rich to run a dyno run, you can do a run for about $35. So if you think how much you put in to the car, it is not really that bad.
I suggest looking for a Dyno in your area and find out the rates. You can also get the A/F ratio monitored, and can also tune your car, this does cost more, about $75 an hour, and usually just a flash, but it is worth it.
I see in your sig that you have spent at least $2000 just on extras for your car, so to a dyno run would be nothing to spend right!
