Question Intake Results

Does anyone have some proof that the Popcharger or Nismo intake has improved your 1/4 time ?

Sound clips would also be much appreciated.

What's the best you can really hope to get at the wheels 5rwhp? That's a 2%gain. You think you can accurately measure a 2% hp improvement? No way. There is too much error in any every day drivers driving for that really to show anything on a 1/4 mile. My $0.02

Agreed. You gain/lose too much time with your pedal work and/or shifting to notice a difference with an intake.

FWIW, the Nismo sounds better than the JWT.

it might not affect your et, but if i understand correctly it should show up in your trap speed, even if you butcher the launch

Drag racing takes practice but eventually the average will show an improvement --- but for 5whp in a 3300lb car it would be lucky to show maybe a tenth off the ET

If the car was lighter 5whp would have more effect so focus more on the sound --- I have yet to hear either so I am still debating which one to get for my 06
