Oh? Then why did Stillen go through 3 versions of their intake and sell all three versions. If they had done all of this behind the scenes as R&D only the final one would have been sold.

(Although, credit where credit is due -- Stillen does appear to do much more R&D than other companies.)

This whole argument is reminiscent of the exhaust system discussion...

Again, I suggested that comapnies should consider making compariosns with other competiing products using the products other people already had (no cost for them, maybe a discoun on a part they sell) or a set of inexpensive panel filters -- that's not much more than is already done, but the information would be very useful for consumers.

Remember, we only get the dynos we get because consumers wanted t osee some evidence of gains before buying.

What's fair and sufficient is arbitrary.
