So many keep saying heat soak would lower the HP numbers. From what I have read, however, they drove this car around time in stop go traffic, then dynoed it

So many keep saying heat soak would lower the HP numbers. From what I have read, however, they drove this car around time in stop go traffic, then dynoed it again and got the same results. I would think that would be a true real world test.
Don't hate fellas..... BTW - I find it interesting that Stillen has not chimed in.... |

Stillen would have 2 reasons to visit this thread.
- To congratulate Top Secret on designing a superior intake system. - To call everyone involved with the dyno stupid, or worse, call them liars. Neither seems like a very smart approach by a trusted, mainstream company like Stillen.

Well, the way I see it, they are still in a good spot. Their Intake still makes very nice power and for half the cost. No pride lost at all. I am still torn on what I will do when time for my intake.
If TS is like the Porsche Cayman S of intakes, Stillen is like the 370Z of intakes. Different strokes for different folks.... |

But how well will those filters on the TS intake actually work? Those green foamy filters just scare me. I don't see how they'd be effective with actual filtration.

I tested the stillen intakes on my 370 sport 7 AT. I have a dyno run for every Mod that i have done to the car.
Base line 265. RWHP SAE The car was bone stock Stillen G 3 284.9 RWHP SAE ( bumper was on the car ) NO tuning stock ecu It made these #s after 3 pulls on the dyno. 19.9 RWHP SAE gain. I also watched the intake temps with the Cobb and they dropped from 80 degres to 60.1 when the car was on the dyno. the room temp was 58 to 59 degres. The stillen G3 is a great intake $ for RWHP best mod that you can do.

My engine made 260.1 when it was hot.
I know make 320.1 rwhp with the G3 , berk cats. Stillen CBE. underdrive pully. and my own cobb tune on 94 sunoco. With 292 rwhp it ran the 1/4 in 12.8009 . On my car there is a 5 hp loss on a hot engine.

1% loss in HP for every 10 degrees in temperature increase they say, so CAI should be better. I have R2C short ram intakes installed and did not notice any real gains, but also no loss in power - just louder. Since I'm still trying to pay down my debt, I have no money for a dyno run. Someone wants to sponsor me?
