The HUGE fan in front of the car "simulates" air flow.
BTW, I don't drink coffee - you?

Yaba daba doo.... like a 3-4hp is noticable no matter HOW the airflow is applied .
Ya wanker.
Anyhow the "air" flow was the same for each car on the dyno. So the testing conditions were identical.
Dood, the whole front of the car where the intake is, is covered (blocked). A moving car won't really affect its air flow. It's not a ram air. Heat in the engine bay should basically be the only affect from a moving car or not. Air flow, i would think, would be the same no?

as with all mods, do it cause you want to do it, not cause of what it will yield, which is debatable in a case like this.
I have no clue what my Mugen CAI does, nor do I truly care. It sounds nice, it looks cool, and it makes me happy.

Thanks for seeing my point!

Exactly my point...a dyno can't measure CAI gains.
Thanks for seeing my point!

How do they test the power gains then? With any intake for that matter. If stock is tested the same way you can see the difference between the 2 +/- whatever % of error.
I see where you're going though. The air temp difference ratio between when the car when moving as opposed to when it's not with the hood open will be different. But c'mon man.... not THAT much different in regards to air density and power gain.
Why don't you type what you're thinking next time
Anyhow to really boil it down, James is right

Exactly my point - dyno can't do it!

+/- 2% = measurement error!

So then why bother with a COLD AIR INTAKE????

I did, it just took this long for you to get it

Exactly!

They DO test it with a dyno...over and over while they design it.

+/- 2% = measurement error!
[COLOR=red]did you make up the 2%? Or is there some special formula you're not telling me?
