because eventually you'll run into it, and it can happen a lot sooner than you think depending on what setup you use (i.e. JR sc).

i don't argue most people will care, but for the 10% that do, it does matter. anyone looking to make more than 350whp will need sd with a 3" maf, at least every car i've tuned to that level has. the alternative is to go bigger than 3" and use a reducer to the throttle body. not exactly an elegant solution.

if you want to assert superiority based on your tuning suite, well that's just pathetic, but you wouldn't use that argument. you'd just say 'custom maps' and the argument would be over.

and how 'antiquated' is an evo x? they use hybrid setups stock.

i'm a huge fan of OFT. i think it's the best option for 90% of us. but to pretend there aren't drawbacks for the other 10% is disingenuous.
