[QUOTE]Originally posted by TORQUEPIMP: [QB] [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]exactly i mean when the engine is getting forced more air from a blower or turbo or even ram air. you neet to straighten air flow and allow the accesability to get more air. i mean a blower does not pull air out of its ass (ok well technically it does) it needs to get air from somewhere. that is where you start worrying about he efficience and flow of the induction system. on a stock you might see small with cold air cuz you are still giving a better path to the engine. wow i love this topic :p [/QB][/QUOTE]
