How can we measure gains when no one has done before and after dyno runs or posted any before and after 1/4 mile runs?


1/4 mile trap speeds are a very good indicator of car horsepower regardless of the elapsed time.

My take on mods -

1. If it works worse...bad.
2. If it works the same...bad, unless it was free then see #'s 4 & 5.
3. If it works better...great.
4. If you enjoyed doing it.. great.
5. If you feel better that it's no longer stock and more unique...great
6. If it works way better than you ever thought it should for the price...perfect.

When I finally get my intake designed and built I plan on doing back to back on the dyno, but i really don't expect to see to much of anything. I will also be looking at the pressure loss through the filters on the runs so that even if it isn't making more power initially, there could be more on tap with the correct tune put in place.

Kyanite, I like that, that's basically my thinking too when it comes to mods. I usually enjoy making my own parts so even if the performance comes out even, I still call it a win.

Yeah I was curious to see what the actual reported gains were as well. Though today in 2019 you can buy a nice aluminum one for 245 bucks, I'm still curious.

Going to do the upper pulley too, anyone done the bottom one as well?

Just purchased and installed 2 conned filters absolutely love the whining sound BUT lost power, acceleration and now a crazy hesitation.
