It's $100. I'd be happy with 5whp gain. Goes to show, once again, how the stock intake box is plenty efficient. I'd be curious to see what gains the OP would get on this particular car and dyno if he installed the Stillen Gen 3's.

I am not saying my gains are typical, but they are real.

We're probably going to go with an AEM intake rather than the Stillen. Reason being we can ditch the ETI module when we put the uprev tune on it and have a larger intake tube overall.

I would also say it's more like 13whp, since the 293whp on the baseline was at 7100ish rpm and the 309 we got was at 7300.

I apologize for the inconsistent baseline vs modded charts, we were rushed.

Well, that changes everything... maybe.

Peak power is that, peak power. It might have peaked at 7100 before and now peaks at 7300 with the filters. BUT, if power was still climbing on the 293whp pull and the run was stopped at 7100 prematurely, then the gains are slightly false and more than likely less than what we are all going with at this point.

It's not that huge of an rpm difference, but I do see your point. The graph looks pretty linear though and pretty decent amount of gain looks very plausible.
