There's also a few dynos that show it actually loses power and several others that are not happy with it. The placebo effect will always make a difference. I'm sorry but a butt dyno on something this...

You guys are brutal. That thing looks good and is a step in the right direction. I'd bet the straight line performance is on par with the 1LE when it's tested. I'm happy to see it comes with side...

Compare the inner diameters of the air sensor intake location from what you've got to the intake you're considering. If it's the same then you should be fine.

The PDR times aren't true or reliable. Mine reads low like that too. Besides, who runs a 12.7 with a 3.8 second 0-60?

4.2 here running 28 psi in Sport 1. Launch control usually gives me about 4.3-4.4. Looking to try again with the cooler weather now.

I don't think you'll get stares of ''envy and admiration". Looks a bit cringe inducing unless it's displayed at a car show or something. A bit too far over the social line.

Dodge makes some really cool cars that are probably the best daily drivers of the whole bunch. A Hellcat or SRT will be the next move when kids come along.

I usually hate every single appearance mod I've seen on the 6th gen but for some reason this whole setup looks good. It's not my style at all but I like it. This is the Tron Camaro.

It's what you should have purchased instead. Only half joking of course. If you're stock otherwise you should do a dyno to get more data out on this intake.

The tables are corrected because the tube diameter where the MAF is probably larger and now has to translate to more air at any given reading. This doesn't mean it's going to flow more. It's just...
