I'm not implying Tony is the say all end all... but you are not familiar with his company or product???
He's a knowledgeable guy and has been very successful designing, testing and selling one of the most (if not the most) popular and proven mods for the VQ
I think the debate is pointless though… informative? Maybe, but necessary? No.

FYI... when I measured IATs at the drag strip, I found that the popcharger seems to stay heatsoaked until about the middle of 3rd gear. After that it's around ambient temp
I've stuck with the popcharger because of laziness and the awesome sound, but I will probably switch back to stock eventually.

But OK, I think I know what you are getting at now.
The stock air box and some short ram intakes can utilize dynamic pressure whereas the typical long tube CAI does not?
The short rams statically gains 2-3 HP and may hypothetically gain 2-3 more at high velocity? totalling a gain of 4-6HP?
Vs
The long tube loses 2-3 statically and gains nothing at speed? Totalling a loss of 2-3 HP under any condition?
Interesting point.... If I'm understanding correctly.

But with a reality check, unless you are going really, really fast the dynamic pressure won't do much.

Other then the explination usuing dynamic pressure. Your understanding me. Because I don't know the atual definition of dynamic pressure I didn't use the word. I don't want to miss use it. But yea. Basially what I'm sayin is the dyno guarantees some numbers. Where as off the dyno will show what the dyno show but with the capability to show more.. I'm not sayin exact numbers lyk the 4-6 you said. But that definatly could be possible.
