This was purley for a before and after for the install of the K&N drop in filter. Not the actual speed.

Before: slow.

After: slow.

Source: I have the filter on my car and my car is still slow.

Lol, i was trying to be a bit more accurate. But the software isnt precise at all. I just did 2 runs from stop lights and i got a 7.2 and a 11. It does have a much better sound. Just ran an errand.

Yeah cold air intakes or even just drop in fliters net like no gains. Some cold air intakes can move the MAF sensor and lean things out a hair for more power but still nothing even worth trying to measure on a dyno let alone a 0-60 with a stop watch.

0-60 doesn't matter as much as 40-100 when trying to measure gains. For an inexperienced driver the 0-60 is never consistent anyways. You can vary a lot based on how hard you launch and how much traction you have. The butt dyno is all that matters anyways. I wouldn't worry about times unless it's at a track or strip. I have a 700 horsepower car (not frs) and I have no clue what the 0-60 is lol

To get an accurate 0-60 time you'd need to have a perfect set of conditions as flat a straight as you can find, and something like a VBOX than can accurately calculate the time and also is extremely precise with a high refresh rate. The times you get with a watch or elm 327 dongle app have a higher percent error.

I only use torque to monitor the OBD functions. Also it's nice to be able to know when the OBD readiness codes are completes before a smog test.

I drive the AT cause my wife does not want to learn MT and might need to drive it in a emergency. ONLY IN AN EMERGENCY! lol So the time 0-60 for AT is supposed to be 6.8 or so. I did it in 6.0 sec which does not seem right considering the MT is said to be 6.2. Thoughts?

you got 6.0 seconds? in an AT??? fastest i got in my AT was 7.2, thats with intake and exhaust on summer tires with spare tire delete. are you sure your looking at the right numbers??

The 0-60 in the Torque app is not accurate at all I found. Later i did 2 more runs and got a 7 and 11. So that tells you its not accurate at all.
