2) AEM CAI
Comptech Headers
HKS Exhaust

Dyno:

The green line is the 1st dyno. The red is the 2nd and the Blue the 3rd.
You can see the high end gain from the headers from 1st to 2nd dyno.
On the 3rd dyno, you can see where the mid-range was tuned out and there was a good gain of hp. What i noticed is that the car would get .5-1 hp from just cooling down.

Happy CL-S Pilot
Did you clean the AEM CAI filter when you compared to the ICE box new and clean filter?
It seems that gains are identical and with 1-2 HP. Also, you have to discard all the numbers below 3000 rpms... For example you are making no more than 190 lbft of torque...
BTW, do you have the soft version?... How about correction factors?
Looking good!

Damn those are crazy power gains. Wait these aren't peak numbers are they? Cause its the area under the curve that counts. I wonder how the ICEBOX compares to the new V2??

Also note he has light weight volk rims.
CLSTER Lightweight rims DO make a difference. unsprung weight. Excellent torque gain , about 5lbs more than the AEM.

Ah one more thing from the video when you dynoed the AEM you did not use the Yellow fan/blower but you did when you dynoed the Comptech ICEbox......
did you use your V-AFC to tune it at all?
Do any of those gains show before and after the install of the volk rims?
