long tube intake dyno

STILLEN Longtube G3 Intakes. Review, Dyno and Impressions.

~20whp gain


short ram dyno

K&N Intakes Installed w/Dyno

~14whp gain


33% difference of hp gained in short ram vs long tube

i'm sure there are many variables that play into this, but these were just some quick examples i found

now as the car warms up, both will lost hp, but the intake located under the hood WILL lose more power than the remotely located intake
