it will improve hp, i dont think it will net anywhere close to the manufactures claims, as no product ever actually does....

kind of nice how you can't get a close up look at the dyno sheet.

peak horsepower and usable horsepower are two entirely different things...

Anything to get more air into the engine in a smoother pattern will cause an increase in HP & torque.

Do the deckplate mod to get more air, get an Amsoil air filter to let the air flow while maintaining good filtration for the trail, do the ISR mod to give the air a cleaner shot to the throttle body.

Actually, you can... All of the images on the page are full-size and the HTML IMG tag is being used to shrink them on the client-side (in the browser). i.e., they didn't create thumbnails with a link to a full-size pic.

So... If you "right click & view image" on the dyno sheet, you'll see the full pic:

Am I missing something or is there something odd about that dyno chart? Namely, hp = torque at3600 rpm? Shouldn't this happen at 5252 rpm?

the torque part of the graph looks a little funny the article quotes 7 ft lbs yet i see places where its up around 20...namely the start of the graph

R.O.T. If it sounds to good to be true, then it probabaly is too good to be true.

There is a sucker born every minute. Just wish I could think up a good sucker product, get rich and retire to Moab, UT.

Agreed, definitely looks like a gimmick product. Or at the very least, just another CAI.

After looking at the dyno chart again, I just realized that the torque scale is different than the hp scale. If the graph was extended out to 5200 rpm, the lines look like they're trending to meet at around 149 about there.
