true, 6hp diff between quickD and 10x3 on a 97 318 dak... got the dyno print
somewhere to back that up. I run a 14x3 myself, shall soon be going with
cold air setup (aka tube system). Simply b/c that's 6hp on a dyno, with the
hood open, not with the filter gettin air straight beside the radiator (not
from above the headers [hot air rises ;)] )
