I was driving it around with intakes as my only mod at one point. The sound definitely changes at WOT, it sounds much better over stock. It would be hard to actually feel something like a 10 hp difference.

As far as power, I originally intended on getting my baseline dyno done, but things didn't go smoothly. It was the first dyno i've ever had and the machine was sometimes reading the TQ and sometimes it didn't. The only run that came through with both hp/tq readings showed 262 hp(ridiculously low) on dynojet. However, during one pull, i swear i saw on the monitor that it pulled 272hp with no tq readings, but later he said 262 was the best. He probably said it because it was the only one that showed up half way decent. So who knows...

So after my intakes and CBE, I brought it somewhere else. There it managed 289 hp on a dynojet as well.

My first dyno experience was taken at night and it was much much cooler outside compared to the second dyno. Also keep in mind that these two dyno's were at different shops.

I just got my hfc installed, so after headers, pulleys, and tune(probably @specialtyz). I can compare it to some other VQ37 dynos that they have done.

I hope this gives you some idea.

absolutely, thanks for the info! strange that the original dyno session went to weird, if temps were lower and everything shouldnt it read a smidge higher? colder/denser air? I am somewhat new to dyno's so maybe I am wrong..

Me too, but I think temps matter. Maybe someone with more knowledge can clarify.

My first run was in 75 and the other in 83 degrees. Not sure how much of a difference that makes.

I just figured the density of the air would affect combustion and all that, but idk.

So none of you that got this intake can tell a difference? I've put cai on several car and on hemi motors you can def feel a difference. Did one on a f150 that I had and felt no difference.
