I'm just saying we've been down this path many many times regarding intakes on this car.
Oh ok I see .. But yea I did that first Dino like a month ago with the OEM intake

Dyno is great to see gains, but tracking it will really determine if the mods are worth the gains. The SRT exhaust sounds pretty sick in person but not sure if it equates to better performance. Caymandive is the perfect example of this. WIth your exhaust and intake mods you should be running mid to low 12's with all the proper shifting.

He was in D + Sport, I was in M + Sport, and it wasn't even close. The disparity really shouldn't be that much between D and M. Could be heat soak affecting his SRT intake, who knows. I'll probably still beat him in the F even after he upgraded to the Viper SRT-10

VJ cheated with his TOM's throttle controller and he always floored it before the third beep or before anyone was ready, but his 12.3 time at atco is respectable so will cut him some slack.
My SRT intake came with the car so I never knew of difference between stock and srt intake.
It sounds fantastic ( until i drowned it out with straight pipes) and makes engine bay look awesome soo no matter what you get your money's worth. I never got a cel or had a problem with it. It did get heat soaked after hard runs in the summer so i wrapped it with heat tape roll from S and K speed.
Speed World in baldwin is a great shop!..but my .02 is that the SRT intake should give F a little more power in the right conditions but an extra 10-15 hp ain't much on a 416hp car and it might lose you some hp when too hot, but for sound and looks its a good buy like I said! Everyone hates on it here though. Here is a pic of the snake before winter hibernation. Will post some pics when i do some mods in the spring. I do miss my F sometimes but then I look in the garage and feel better. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/att...1&d=1387600481
