hey jenna, correct me if I'm reading the data wrong, but it looks like the K&N is the best, then the AEM (unless the AEM without filter counts, but i wouln't run my intake without a filter)

Re-read my first post in this thread regarding the numbers posted. You can't just go off of HP, IATs and MAF reading counts too.

for sure, i wasnt solely basing my assesment on the HP... there are a couple numbers on that data sheet that i am not familiar with though. Thats why i asked the question because you are more educated on the data then me...

The AEM has the highest average airflow which is what you really want out of these things. It also has the highest average peak, and the least amount of restriction as shown by the MAP value of 97.

if you dont mind me asking Jenna, why is HP not the bottom line? Of course I ask because HP is what everyone wants... however, I want whats best for my truck, hence the question

Peak HP is not the most important thing. Although the K&N shows the highest peak, not all the other numbers correspond to that, so one could assume that it was possibly fluctuations in the dyno.
Realistically what you should take away from this test/thread, is that the open systems perform better than the closed box. You have 2 open elements and 4 closed box intakes being compared.

im with you there, i just like to understand the numbers... I love seeing data like that because my mind functions with numbers. I just want to learn what the numbers all mean...
As far as intakes go, I am completely satisfied with my setup and wouldn't even think about selling it and buying something else for 2HP... NOT WORTH IT...
just like understanding the data.
hey jenna, do you remember that IceMan intake from about 10 years ago? it was an intake setup that you were supposed to pul dry ice in to cool the incoming air... hahahaha. always wondered if those things actually worked

it was popular with the ricer crown about 10 years ago or so. It had a box right after the filter that you would load dry ice into so the air was cooler.... hahahaha hilarious!

Nice!! Just as good as having a HUGE blow off valve to make your turbo sound that much bigger.
