[QUOTE]Originally posted by shade-tree: [QB] there are dyno results showing over 10 rwhp in certain N.A. applications. everyone should probably decide for themselves what they think is "worth it". On an AOD stocker 5 liter is it worth it? Probably not. AFM power pipes have been shown to be worth >20 rwhp on blown applications. And yes, it is a version of a cold-air intake. Do I need one on my civic? again, probably not :D If all anyone ever cared about was $$$/HP we'd all be driving motorcycles. That, or our only mods on our cars would be slicks, gears, and nitrous. ;) but what it sounds like I'm hearing is the following... "...these are the finding from our case study. You will submit to our interpretation..." :D I'd be the last to argue that you're getting a great bang for the buck with those $150 cold-air kits on a stocker. However, I will stand by the countless dyno results that show about a 2-5 HP gain on a stockish 5 liter. There's more power to be had the further from stock you get. Ever see the 4" (or larger) intakes the blower/turbo guys use? Or would you still figure the stock airbox is not a limitation? Of course not. All depends on the application. or we could just cut the jib-jabbering and ask the dynoo operator at Apex. He probably has run the test and has hard data for dozens of cars. That wouldn't be too difficult would it? :worship: [/QB][/QUOTE]
