Heh, the -lack- of useful modability is one of the things my wife _liked_ about the 2IS, after seeing me mod my previous vehicles so much.


A dyno, where you test the vehicle with the hood open and standing still, isn't really a good method of testing an intake, which is used with the hood down and the car in motion.

Track testing, trap speed in particular, is probably a slightly more useful judge of real gains for an intake... but you have to insure you correct for DA, engine heatsoak, and other factors when doing that kind of testing too.

I'm not saying it's the same...

I was just giving an example!

I know you guys want the best for me and I'm not fighthing anyone here I'm just telling you each one of them is trying to prove that his product is the best.

most of those stuff are the same cause most of them copy each other and I'm not saying JoeZ is copying every market out there..

but still most of them will have the same results..

That just gave me the idea of doing quarter miles with the hood taken off the car, less weight, more air
