Unless I'm missing something, there are only actual dyno results for a couple of these. The rest are general statements or manufacturer estimates.

There are dyno graphs for each of the intakes, nothing is a manufacturer estimate.

So out of these is there one that BlackBear will say performed the best. (I did look at the results but you guy have a different perspective than what we get.)

For example, recommendation of one with or with out a tune.

Based on the data and results, the guys would NOT recommend a Volant without a tune. With a tune, it may have been as powerful or more than the others, but that comparison was not made (would have taken days to get that completed for each intake). The engine was pinging audibly with that intake and driving around, throttle response would have been very "off". The aFe and full Airaid systems performed very well and had great fit/finish and would be the top two contenders, with or without a tune.
