RE: Surprising difference with K&N install
What a surprise, I try and put a small amount of insight iinto the forum and everyone has to s#%t on it and call me a liar, no it is not in my head, cause I expected nothing, the suprise came when I actually did notice a difference, I am not saying the damn thing gave me 50 H.P. just that I noticed a bit of a difference, you can disagree with me if you want, I was just trying to offer some input on this usually good forum,,,,,,, but I guess I will find out for sure next weekend, I am dyno'ing the car and I will swap out the filters while I am there and I will post the results, and since you guys will probably say I am full of sh$t then too, I will scan and post the results, maybe I am wrong, but I doubght it, thanks for the great support and feedback in our oh so friendly mustang community

he didnt say he gaind 50 hp or 3 hp he said he felt throttle response, that u can fell. I.E. when u race the engine by pushing the pedel the engine revs quicker than it did before the filter, im not saying it gave him anymore power or not i agree with the 3 hp that he got but i do belive he could fell the response faster....

Going back and fourth about it is useless, I drove the car and felt a difference, I cannot prove this in any way, nor can you guys prove otherwise,,,,,,,, I don't have a track in my backyard, so can't tell you 1/4 times, lol, but I will let you know the power difference,,,,,, maybe it's not even an increase in peak power, maybe the curve just changed a bit, but I deffinantly noticed a difference in good usable power. and anyone from MA. area,,,,, still trying to get some people together to go to the dyno in Hanover on March 11th.

i know what you mean silvergt, no matter if it's 1 hp, or just a little better response i know when my car feels just a tad different.

It's all in your head.

I was really excited about my diablo chip (the first one) when I got it. I thought it made a difference but after a few days I couldn't even tell.
My upper intake stuff was kinda the same way, but I was on a stock exhuast at the time, so it probably didn't do anything.
