Probably so showing the 2 to 4 Hp loss as I mentioned before. I understand what you are saying Chuck but the loss is minimal at best between the two. They will both show gains compared to stock. How much you want, how much you spend, and how much time you spend doing it is up to you and this was my point for someone that doesn't have the mechanical aptitude such as yourself installing one.

Since all of you getting serious and anal about it.
All your suggestions are highly technical and waste of time!

Nothing beats the location of this Stillen cold air intake! Maximum dyno power gains! No need to take the bumper out!

And if you want to be very aggressive go turbo charging with this type of intake!

PEACE you all!

It's more than 2-4 hp. There is no reason ever to buy a short ram. You would be far better off with maf tubes and drop ins. It doesn't matter if you believe it or not. That's the beauty of facts- they don't require one's belief. Short ram intakes are the scarlet letter of "I don't do research". Be happy with your purchase, that's fine. But don't go around recommending them like you're giving good advice. You're not.

Again dyno results.

Chuck...no mechanical aptitude. I guess that entire turbo build we did or the built track car in the backyard don't count.

Actually, I think you read this one backwards. He was saying a short ram benefits someone with less mechanical aptitude.

That would make more sense. Lesson learned for posting before caffeine

That is not what I meant. Chuck has the mechanical ability and I was referring to the folks that don't. My apologies for it sounding the wrong way Chuck.
