Look back through this very thread. Those of you with the intake installed, don't you think you'd FEEL the 10% reduction in power that this test claims? With an A/F ratio below 10:1, wouldn't gas mileage have tanked after install instead of going up as many of you have claimed? We have voiced our position in that thread, and TAP Auto has reposted it here. We would encourage everyone to examine the information put forth, compare them with your own experiences, and then draw your own conclusions.

Even if I prove/provide everything you asked for it wouldn't matter to you.
Are you familiar with the automotive term "NIH"?
It means "not in house", I learned it at Ford and then Cosworth and then at McLaren. Manufacturers can not believe something that they didn't think up themselves, or that is presented to them that demeans their product, even with data.
My friend, James Fueling, told me to watch for it and when it happens pick up your chips and move to another table.
Address the issues in this forum without "NIH".
Everyone in this buyer driven community has the right to speak about a product they paid for and advise others about its' issues.
