hey guys i really hadnt looked much into intakes as i have a 5AT

but dammmnnn i didnt know they were producing these kinda ##'s

stock - 178.1hp comptech icebox - 183.7hp

stock - 158.6hp injen cold air intake - 169.7hp

stock - 171.4 aem short ram intake - 177.9

these kinda numbers really impressed me i think ima go order one now lol

if there are anymore intakes out there with dyno charts please post linky here

 

Just don't compare the max numbers and think the CompTech one is the best, those dynos are only valid comparing the before and after runs on the same dyno. The CompTech says it was run on a Dyno Dynamics Chasis Dynometer, I assume the other 2 were on a Dyno Jet.

And AEM's baseline is abnormally high, I'm not quite sure what SRS corrected is. But the improvements on each seems right on, minimal gains w/ ice box, decent w/ SRI, best w/ CAI.

 

i persoannally like the CAI

 

theres no way that the icebox out performs the injen. i wouldnt think anyways? but im a cai fan

 

I have the Comptech Icebox and am very happy with it so far.

 

I realize not to look at the absolute figures and compare. So I looked at all the torque graphs in post #1 and just looking at which line goes higher at which rpm ranges.

It looks to me that in both Injen cases, there is some loss in torque (compared to stock) for a small range in the low-end (2600 to 3300 for SRI, 2500 to 2900 for CAI). The Comptech Icebox has similar characteristics and its line shows loss in torque (vs stock) around 2700 to 3300 (ignoring the even lower rpm part as Injen graphs don't cover that low).

Is my observation correct? So some slight low-end torque is being sacraficed to get the mid-to-high end gain? Is this pretty much true for all similar intake mods?
