Ruckus46Gt said:ok ready....maybe you have some freak car that doesnt respond to a dyno. If what you are saying is true then the people at k&n, pro 5.0 mag, muscle mustangs and every other person who has done research on the gains were wrong. It must have been some godly given hp after the switch happened and they dynoed it. These new cars have computers. They need to adjust to some things and changing your air filter requires the computer to adjust because you are sending more air in. When you did your dyno's did you think about check if your car was running um lets say lean or rich or anything? It probely didnt adjust to the filter and then you took it out after a short while and put the stock in which it was used to so the numbers look better
Ruckus46Gt said:anyone else see that the story keeps on changing?
NasaGT said:Well, if you are going to dyno again, how about starting with stock filter and then switching to K&N?
forpit2000gt said:I have seen a care make no changes and make three pulls that were + and -5 hp of the baseline pull. Same day , same car , no changes, all within 45 minutes. Why did this happen???
K&N filters ahve proven to flow better than stock and that is good enough for me. Are you saying easier flow will cut HP? maybe I should stick a sock in the TB to give me more tq and HP.

You have to add length to the intake. That means you have to buy an intake and put your filter in the fenderwell. Go buy an intake and do the same tests, and those results will be different.

You have another guy saying you should clean it and re-appling the K&N juice. It is a brand new filter, right out of a brand new box, right off the shelf, why should it need to be cleaned and oiled to perform as advertised
