I honestly don't know why it matters if it's true or not. If you don't believe that a CAI makes that much of a difference don't buy one. If you think it makes a difference buy one. I don't see what the point of arguing if it's possible or not.

While this conversation is just a conversation to some, it also gets permanently entered into a searchable data bank that will without a doubt be accessed by thousands of people over time. I'm argueing because I don't want those people to think the test results are BS.

No one ever uses the search feature here anyway, they just create the same topics over and over and over and over... [emoji1]

Speaking of the search feature:

What size tires and rims will fit under my truck if I put a 2 inch lift and level it? :bs:

 

Nevermind...back on topic. :thumbs:

It all depends on how much HP you have from your Intake. Then you can calculate the tire size.

It's not just on here, shortly you can google any of those intakes listed on the test and they will point to here.

 

Come on folks, the information was provided as a service from a vendor of course you have to take with a grain of salt and do your due diligence before a purchase.

 

Just look at all the folks bought the Airaid MIT and it does diddly squat...Although on the older trucks it did well. Bet they would have liked to known that the thing was just a piece to clean up the engine bay and that only matters if you show your truck.

Don't forget, it sounds awesome. That's the only reason to buy an intake anyway.

 

My truck ran 14.9's at Milan on a hot 80 deg day. It ran 14.6's according to a dashhawk on a cool day. My best 25 mpg is 28.1, best 50 is 27.3, best 400 is 20.1. I get about 18 mpg per tank, very little hwy driving. I have an MITjr with a green filter and the stock air box side piece by fender removed. I'd bet switching to the afe wouldn't make a diff.

I feel the same way, no hard feelings but I'd hate to see people spend that much money under false pretenses.

If one of these shows up on my doorstep, I'll do another dyno to show the numbers.

Lmao that's one that always gets asked... but I think the best one is when they ask about an aftermarket exhaust without any drone.

Back to the topic.. I have a afe momentum.. I bought it cause 1.. it looked good. And 2 I wanted extra noise. And 3 I wanted a california carb compliant intake.. but with the testing that blackbear did just makes me do a major fist pump!!!! Woooohoooo!!!!!

      By newdude · Posted

      Based on what I can tell, yes.   As for updating it, its a mixed bag.  Updates do fix a lot of issues, but occasionally can create some oddities.  They do more good than harm though overall.     Here's what the most current one does and a  V171 Improvements Important: Improvements will vary by model, build configuration, system, and sales region. Not all vehicles have all features.

      Front End Rattle

      By AndrewF · Posted

      Looking for help troubleshooting a metallic like front end rattle. Figured I’d see if anyone had thoughts before I schedule an appointment with the dealer.   The rattle is fairly loud and occurs primarily when the front driver side wheel hits a bump, even fairly minor road seams. Sometimes does it when the passenger hits a bump but I don’t believe when the rear hits. Rattle still occurs when foot is pressing brake peddle so I think that rules out the caliper rattle I’ve read about. I’ve also checked the running boards and they are tight.   Most noticeable at slow speeds.    Any insight is appreciated.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      We try to make cruise the coast. It’s where our favorite casino is. I only want to spectate. Never took a car. Always had one to take. I belonged to a club once. Even when I used to drag raced. It was during test and tune. Probably because I’m not a night owl, party person.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Good looking Olds, and TRX!   I haven't been into car shows either. I'm probably not a convert but I did push myself this year to attend a few select events to challenge some assumptions and try to experience car-based social clubs in a different way. I joined up with the local Hagerty group for some cars/coffee events, group drives. A month ago I showed my '94 Camaro I rescued last fall at Radwood. Had a good time, but, there was some sitting around with the car and that's the part of shows I don't enjoy as much. I prefer to be a spectator, walk the show, grab a burger, go home.   Radwood was the only era-limited event, but where it had strict model year limitations, it made it up in variety. Having Jason Camissa there was also a hoot.   Where I see old 50's car shows, doo-wop and winga dinga music stuff fading out, same with "only" vintage muscle clubs, it seems to be the activity-based clubs/events which are gaining strong popularity. Places where all cars and interests come together.
