So just a tiny update... I am going to see if we can squeeze doing OEM airbox at some point this week an make some minor tweaks to the MAF so it is a fair comparison. I am also going to try to remove the snorkel and tweak the MAF to get it as close as possible with the TRD intake as we were seeing a lot of turbulence with it removed on the bench but didn't have a higher enough CFM vacuum source to check how it was at a higher volume. But I am going to try to setup a dyno session if possible for later this week and see if we can quickly remove the snorkel to test before & after on MAF, vs SD to see how much of a turbulence difference.

I am hoping with SD we can maybe pickup a few HP up top without losing much if any in the low end, but on MAF I am expecting to see the low end suffer due to turbulence skewing the AFR a bit. I had a local with an OEM intake and no snorkel with wide swinging MAF voltages that I had done a quick street tune with about two weeks ago.

Hooray for actual tuned before and after dynos ?! I would love to do more testing on other parts but damn it gets expensive renting dynos! :P
