+13hp on with a short ram? I doubt it but I can be wrong.

Very optimistic, for sure. I tend to take vendor dyno graphs with a grain of salt. The design looks identical to K&N/Fujita/LMS/etc. None have been shown to have gains over 5whp, and some have been observed losing power.

Never trust the dyno from the guy trying to sell you something
That one is especially bad- note the dyno scale on the left when they show the "13 hp gain"
The highest it goes is 215. Which is a -lot- less than an IS350 makes stock.
Same problem with the torque scale on the next frame.

I thought Short Ram doesn't give any gains...

Wheels aren't stock and dyno'd in 3rd gear.....
Thats two things I noticed.
Otherwise just another short ram intake
Takeda USA is a division of aFe.

Highly doubtful. Maybe they just forgot the decimal... +1.3 hp

Just questionable enough to make you really feel the placebo effect.
