It's a funny thing. Most of you guys will swear by dyno results unless of course they don't agree with what you want to see! Then somebody did something tricky, just live with the fact that there could be something better than the Stillen!

I will be the first (maybe Semtex) on the next best thing, but the design of a short ram intake has been proven time and again not to work on this car. Open filters behind the radiator just does not work, yet, especially that high up and close to all the hot air.

Believe me I hear what you’re saying but the dyno doesn't lie. On top of that what would they have to gain by tweaking something. Please don't think I'm here to argue with anyone I'm just giving my opinion on what I'm reading, so please everyone with the G3 don't start bashing me for voicing my opinion.
Kindest regards,
Tom
