Really Davis. I guess in a shop with a dyno you could test stock and the aftermarket. Then we'd know.

Well I tested it at the track and two years took the truck to the NHRA division6 championships.

What was the outcome ? Was the aftermarket intake the same better or worse ?

The track and real world are two very different scenarios. Just because something works on the track does not mean it will in a real world towing situation. On the track, you can get away with getting up to 1,400F EGT's for a 12 second run, but you cannot towing up an 8 mile road.

As I said earlier, intakes are not just about power gains in a diesel. It is about creating cooler and easier flowing air flow that helps you increase your usable power. And by usable I mean the amount of power you can sustain without the EGT's getting too hot.

I know the article below is about turbo's but it will help explain what I mean. Take look the graph on page 16 and notice the difference in usable power at certain rpms with each turbo. Cooling the intake air and creating an easier flow will allow you lower the EGT's allowing you to increase the usable power when towing. You don't have to worry about this on the track since you are at higher rpms and you can run at higher EGT's for a short period of time without causing too much damage.

A Comparison of the Performance Characteristics of Aftermarket Turbos

I understand that. I was just curious if anyone here had any objective analysis done. Whether on a dyno or on the track. It is one thing to say something doesn’t work and another to actually prove or demonstrate that.
