[QUOTE="Chris, post: 434051, member: 1"] You will definitely feel a little bump in throttle response. My guess is if you look at the results on a dyno what you will see isn't so much a gain of power but increased throttle response due to the power band having been slightly moved around. I try to explain things using the bottleneck example to people. If you open things up with an air intake, it's the same as taking a 2-lane highway and converting it to 4-lanes for 3 miles, but then having it merge right back into 2-lanes after that. All you're essentially doing is moving the bottleneck further up the road. The real gains come when you expand the entire thing. [/QUOTE]
