The intake produces alot of power, Probably more than a TB. I picked up
almost 3 tenths in the 1/4 with just the intake.
$100 bucks does seem a little high but they do have state of the art
facilities, they regularly have NASCAR Busch cars and Craftsmen trucks there
testing. Their machine is pretty new, and the company is very well known in
NASCAR racing. So they have credibility.
I've seen two post so far in the 50 dollar range, what did they give you as
an output? paper print out?, Graphs? what were their facilities like, and
what is their credibility?
What's 50 more bucks, when all I have to do is drive 2 miles to test it.I'd
rather just pay the extra money and atleast know that I'm not at the mercy
of some jack leg engine shop.
I don't know of any others in the area.

<$100 for 3 runs is mighty steep.. see if the dyno shop will rent out all
