I'm having trouble understanding how the Injen, with its open faced design, would make the most power. It has no inlet directing cool air from inside the bumper, just an open face that's at least 3-4 inches away from where the snorkel resides. It can and will draw in hot air rising off the block and header that gets trapped under the hood while idling. The other systems are all well sealed and have inlets much closer to the snorkel air source. It just doesn't make sense to me; maybe since the hood was up during the dyno pulls it didn't draw in as much hot air.

They probably had the hood open, and a fan blowing on it.
