Dyno results: TRD intake + Millers Oil = 6hp MORE than K&N drop in/silicone tube

Ok, real world data. Lots of internet chatter about how the TRD intake doesn't make power, and is a "waste of money, just use the stock intake". Nobody ever has dyno numbers though. Well, clearly it does make power over the drop-in setup, along with the oil. In my case, 6hp is a massive pickup for racing, well worth the money spent IMO.

Also, it is one of the only intakes that works with an oil cooler, that I know of (clears the Jackson Racing kit). Both setups were dyno tuned, same dyno. These aren't marketing pulls, these are SAE, correct 5th gear pulls. Legit numbers.

194hp with K&N drop-in and silicone tube, and Mobil 0W40 oil.
200hp with TRD intake, and Millers 5W40 NT oil.

So if you have an oil cooler and want ~6 extra ponies, there's your ticket.
