Intake Power Gain Comparison (Factory, Banks, SXTH, K&N) — Same Truck, Day, Dyno, Surprising Results

[powder]

There is definitely real power available from an intake alone — the testing showed that. And to be fair, increased sound and response can absolutely amplify the seat-of-the-pants feeling too.

I’ve shown how much tuning alone can unlock, even on the factory airbox. On a stock truck especially, the calibration side of things ends up being a bigger part of the equation than most people realize. And for anyone already running an intake, pairing it with a proper tune helps make sure you're actually getting the most out of the setup and the parts you already have.

In a bone stock vehicle with an intake only, the torque is a net zero if I’m reading correctly? And 10hp at peak? Theres no seat of the pants there, only placebo. but yes I’m sure combined with a tune you’d pick up something. Great data anyhow, it puts the speculation to rest

Can you post just the banks and OEM to make it a little easier to read power under the curve. Also, did you do this test with the OEM vs aftermarket charge pipes?
