The stupidness in this thread is why I quit posting or discussing anything remotely technical on any forum.
"IF" we all listened to engineers we would all be driving some lame powered Yugo mobile, but Some of us think outside the box.
Dynos are ok for testing and selling parts but they don't duplicate how a streetable vehicle operates in real life. Back in the dinosaur days we had an AFE stage 1 and it worked pretty well on our 7.3's and we could actually make decent power 450 or so with Mini Me's and a ball bearing turbo, then the AFE stage 2 came out and while our measured horsepower did not come up, the hp and torque curve came up drastically, now in street terminology we went from barking 2nd gear to lighting the tires thru second gear and chirping 3rd, so much for a big power gain from an open filter.
Now Amandas 15 with Erics tuning and stock air box would spin the tires thru 1st gear and into second while chirping 3rd, now after installing the No limit air intake we see the same results we did back then, tires light all the way thru 3rd gear, when doing 45mph or so and you nail the throttle the trans down shifts and the tires light up. So long story short either Mikey is ganna buy me a set of rear tires or I am taking the intake off and throwing it away as I need cut tractor tires for my Samurai instead of spending money on tires for the wifes truck.
