Have we been wasting our $$$...... Some interesting data here.

Interesting, but the data isn't specific to our vehicles with dynograph proof and such the tests refer heavily to diesel vehicles and their filters, although similiar in design, they are most likely not accurate to our cars or a good comparison to our cars. With our cars ft86speedfactory did some good dynograph tests when the vehicle came out which can be seen here:

It can also be corroborated with grimmspeeds results here:

Both of which picked up around 4-5 whp, as to whether or not those stay in the long term after months of use and k&n recharges and filter changes remains to be seen. Also as to the other stuff they tested (i.e flow, filtering efficiency, dirt passed etc.) we can't know for sure for these cars because those filters haven't had such a thorough testing as the ones made for duramax diesel intakes.
