Erich,
all testing was done on the same day! I used my home made ram air inlet
(never tried the nasty 90 degree inlet, I ditched that the day I brought the
truck home...) on the stock box with a drop in K&N, My Barracudas Mopar
performance aircleaner set up with K&N, and Tony Ds Quick D cone inlet! The
Quick D looks the best and gets the most attention! My home made ram air
looks the worst and gets the biggest laughs, and the Mopar performance set
up looks HP. BUT, I couldnt discern any differences between the three at
the track... granted I never tested the actual stock set up so I may have
misled you a bit! I suppose I need to re-run my test on the dyno as I said
before! With all the TB testing my Butt dyno may be a bit Jaded, so I was
relying on the track testing. Regarding the free TB, what ya got to
trade???

I'm OBD II also, just because it didn't make a diff. at the track
doesn't mean it didn't make real world difference. Did you run the diff
intakes on the same night? I've never run mine to be able to tell #'s,
but It definetly layed more rubber directly after installlation. I've
put my factory intake back on for warranty work, and I could tell a big
diff in power. Then again, all trucks are different. Why don't you send
me a free throttle body and I'll tell you if that makes a diff. on my
truck. :)
