At least in the OP's post, and mine in the case of the AT variants, that seems to be the consensus.

Hmmm. Maybe it's an East Coast thing but a "please" might serve you well especially when it's the weekend and I'm not at the facility. Be that as it may, I had thought you might want a H2H comparison so I kept this set handy.





In 3rd gear, the Visconti tune gains about 5WHP and 6#TQ for a 1000RPM range from 4200RPM onwards, with AFRs leaner than the FA20 tune @ 12.8 and then looses about 6WHP and 5#TQ from 6700 onwards because it got richer. I suppose Visconti (or most tuners) could mimic the AFRs to get the best of both worlds with this AR Intake system, though I think any of the gains would have been negated in this case. (My apologies to AirRaid, just my opinion.)

That's great but how about an apples to apples comparison with an AT setup and while we're on that, RPM instead of Speed & AFRs? That way we're all on the same page (being neutral and transparent) since showing speed does indicate slightly different AFRs and WHP readings, just ever so slightly...

I think im going to wait for a coldair.
Also a good observation, but I think you missed the part where FT86SpeedFactory posted the dyno charts in STD correction vs SAE, and that alone would yield you a few more WHP in favor of the STD numbers, especially in the warmer climates.

I would have done the same here but I didn't want to be accused of "inflating values" nor did I want to start a thread about correction factors and have everyone get confused. We should stick to the defacto standard, SAE values.

My 2 cents once again...
