Dont Care What You Think I Am Happy
The adapter plate at autozone causes alot of air turblance I had that same plate from the zone and I noticed no real noticable increase in power. I then bought the plate from J&J and I got a noticable diffferece from the two. The one I got for J&J has a velocity stack with a cyclone inside of it. Think what you wish.

that's great. what rpm are they at agian? our engines make peak torque at 3400. that is the way the cams, head, and timing is designed to make power there. You can't tell that doing the isr mod is going to drop the torque curve down to 2200 rpm. that's bs.

Dyno Correction, or more accurately Atmospheric Correction, is used as means to ensure comparable results when vehicles are tested under different Atmospheric Conditions. This could mean differences from early morning to late afternoon, or from January to July. In a nutshell, more correction is applied in Hotter, more Humid conditions, and less is needed in Colder, Dryer conditions. Also, more correction is needed in conditions of Lower Barometric Pressure, and less in High Barometric conditions.
The Atmospheric Correction is calculated (in most cases) from Air Temp, Relative Humidity and Barometric Pressure. Unfortunately, there is not just one formula that is used world wide for Atmospheric Correction, and the differences between the varying formulas can vary the result by as much as 4%. This is why whenever a Power or Torque figure is quoted, it should be made clear what Correction Standard is used, and the amount of correction that has been applied is shown, in either a percentage or numerical method.

Besides If TQ is all that matters to you guys not mpg improvement or Hp Gains then i guess you will never enjoy the extra money in your pocket 4mpg improvement puts back in your wallet.

Ok makes sense. So which is the "real" reading as far as torque and power?
Also what is the ISR mod that people keep mentioning? Is it the same thing but cheaper?
I would love to pull anything I can out of my 3.0. More torque would be great for towing my boat and going down the beach. Could a 3VZE really make that torque at such low RPM?

Intake
Silencer
Removal.
You replace the tube going from the AFM to the Thottle body with a simple 3" tube. I used 3" exhaust pipe.
*edit* Alex beat me to it..

That is all that I have done to my truck and by the way it is a different style of cone filter adapter but hey What ever makes you guys happy. I was only trying to give some people some cheap horsepower. If 40 bucks for 7hp is not cheap hp for you guys then I dont know what is but when I pay $5.17 for a hp i think that is cheap. And $150 for 10hp and going for 17mpg to 20mpg was good enough for me. I have paid for my set up 2 times already in gas savings so I guess talk and smack yoou want I am getting the benefits I wanted so 3mpg gain and 10 hp will work for me..............................

No one used this design. I am telling you the plate alone added 7hp the design of the plate and the cfm it allows to enter turblance free makes all the difference.

Please stop calling it a cold air intake...the intake is all still under the hood, where hot air resides. True cold intake takes it from a fender or somewhere outside the engine compartment. I'm not gonna say your gains are bs, exactly, but the dyno numbers are. There's no way the peak power was anywhere in the 2000-3000 rpm range. I gained a lil mileage when I did my ISR, maybe not 3 mpg, but I also didn't shell out $150. You're happy, we're happy!
