That shows what? It's a rough dyno with no correlative information.

We have a dyno scheduled for this Friday at 4:30pm. We'll do a real dyno then.

Sorry Umnitza, I was totally on your side on this one. I was all ready to order your intake, but I wanted to wait for a dyno, and now we have it. I must say, I am glad I waited. You cannot discredit GSC motorsports intake test for the sole fact that you sent them your intake to test. You sent them an intake to dyno for you, then when you aren't satisfied with the results, you discredit the integrity of their dyno. You released and sold a product that had not been tested and proven. Not trying to bash at all, as I have said before, I was totally with you on this intake. But I think more research could have been done before release. Maybe something went wrong with the dyno. Maybe not. I guess we will see on friday.

If the dynos are correct, this intake is no better than the TRD exhaust. Great for sound and looks, but does nothin for or even hurts performance. I hope something comes of this.

Absolutely NOT! We aren't discrediting their dyno at all.

This is why after talking to Cole, we're both in agreement, it needs to be rerun as a direct result of the A/F graph. He's agreed to run the stock intake first, then the injen or ours, then the next intake as third or fourth depending on if ours goes second or 3rd <-- convoluted way of saying Injen and Umnitza in any order AFTER the stock airbox with the others following behind.

That being said, each dyno can be different. So we're going to run an isolated dyno and monitor our own A/F readings this Friday night, sooner if possible.

Our test will only account for the stock runs then the intake we carry.

We're hoping to get the positive results we "feel" in our back sides.

One thing Cole also agreed to do is add the "sound" of the intakes to the testing, as the aural sensations are part and parcel of this product.
