they only good way to test a part is to have the car fully tuned, then change the part then fully tune again.
It's important to see what differences parts make with different combo's as well, but changing more than one part at a time for a comparison isnt really a good way to do things

but isn't this was IP did with testing their manifold? They tuned the car with an EMS, then installed the manifold and retuned. Small, but there were some gains up top. Am I understanding this correctly? because now we're saying that it hurt performance, so I'm confused lol

Is there a dyno of a sock car with just an EMS available anywhere? That could help us see a better comparison.
I may be wrong, but I tend to believe that doing single part comparisons don't provide much information. I believe that these sort of parts make better gains when used together and tuned properly, than a single item without other support. Some of this stuff will show losses if untuned/not properly supported. I like looking at the whole picture IMO.

I'm not saying that the IP manifold causes power losses. What I'm saying is that it could have caused losses, for all this test shows. For all we know, this car might have gained even more with a good tune on the stock manifold.
