If I may interject... It seems to me that a dyno isn't nescessarily
the best place to test an air intake. The reason being that the truck
is sitting still, so its only sucking hot air. It isn't a good simulation
of "real world" conditions. I think you'd have to stick the dyno in a wind
tunnel, then do the test. Either that, or test at the dragstrip, but there
are so many variables at the strip that it may be hard to come to any solid
conclusions there either. (Maybe with an ultra-consistent car and
driver...)
