Air intakes.

Air intakes.
I've been reading countless threads about cold air intakes and the massive gains they provide. These intakes are expensive and for the average person, who wants to have their own unique ride can be misleading with there claims.
If you like the look or the sound, I totally understand. But if your looking for an extra 44 horsepower please PLEASE, have a look at the following link, which contains this quote.
"Note: requires a minimum of 91 octane fuel for power gains."

Those look like dyno curves from a 4.6 3V. The blue curves match the numbers from a bone stock 3V but the red curves look virtually identical to another dyno sheet I've seen with a CAI, underdrive pulleys, and a 93 octane race tune. Unless my math is wrong, I'm seeing a 34rwhp and 26rwtq gain. Not 44rwhp but still very respectable numbers.

91 octane required for horsepower gain
"The numbers are the numbers ... we have done our testing & we have seen peak gains of up to 44 HP."
What im saying is, show me your steeda 93 race tune with a stock factory air box numbers and put it side by side your cold air intake tune numbers. I dont think youll see much if any difference in power.

Where do you see $523. there??? With the last Hot Rod I built I bought a complete set of aluminum heads with valves, springs, etc. for a Chevy Small Block for about that price! The markup must be tremendous! I'm still waiting to see INDEPENDENT SCIENTIFIC testing on these units. "IF" you have a vehicle with extremely restricted airflow you might get a decent increase in HP, but with a 2015 Mustang I need to see carefully done "independent" tests to believe it! If HP was so easily added with these bolt on products why wouldn't manufacturers add them to cars they sell based on performance. Tuners depend on the "detuning" of engines by manufacturers from maximum settings to add HP. So a tuner makes sense. It is easier for a manufacturer to add HP to an engine by changing the tuning every year or so than making real changes in design.
As I've said before, "Fishing lures don't have to catch fish. They have to catch fishermen!"
