| I'm down for a 6 speed. I'm also down for a 3rd party dyno sheet. I too, will keep my money at hand until I see a sheet that shows what it can do on an xB, but I am not throwing out anyone's 'butt dyno'. The only way I knew my intake added power was merging onto the highway. Not only did my car respond better, it got up to speed a bit quicker than my stock air box.
withaquicknes, if you DO get a spacer, PLEASE let us know. Heck, if I was given one by someone I'd spend the money on a dyno....Though I think I've said that before... |

| Like I said before, I didn't notice much. But I have most the common bolt-ons available, I/H/E/P. |

| OK now its time, I have been called out, and I am loving this. I just got an email today from aceprecisionmv@hotmail.com, he is the one selling the TBS and well he said give him an addy and hes going to shoot me one. So looks like Im going to the dyno as soon as I get the TBS and I guess we will put this thing to bed. Oh yea that and I got some free schwag. Damn this is going to be a great time for me. Looks like we will finally get to see real world dyno numbers and how this product performs. I will keep you posted...... |

| Looks like we will see, very soon, how well our "butt dyno's" are calibrated.
As long as we remember that dyno results can be doctored to fit what your looking for,as someone else once said , manufacturers screw with the dyno to get what they want.
I think even after one persons dynos we need a second opinion just to verify the results, nothing personal but should we believe someone to do a fair dyno when he said they don't do anything, just a thought.

| Might I make a few suggestions? With the modifications you have now, which I think is just the airbox mod, dyno the car. print the sheet, and set it aside. Then put all the OEM piping back on, if possible, and put in the OEM filter. Then add the spacer.....I'd like to see if it makes the same incremental difference from stock as to with a modified, or aftermarket intake.....I want the nitty gritty details man! |

| Nice to see that this is going to happen. Just be fare to the guy providing the spacer. Try your best to get the dyno done as soon as possible. And make sure you get the dyno runs as close together as possible so you have similar conditions.
Of course, I am sure you already know all of that stuff. |

I want to see difference from before TBS and After TBS added so that people with and without intakes can see about how much difference they have.

| Let me say this, the only performance mod I have is in the stock airbox. you know how theres that lil piece in the top box thats glued in there, well I took that out. I still have the stock filter in it, so im as close to stock as it gets. Im gonna slam it on the dyno as soon as I have the part and as soon as I get my buddy to come and help, within the next 2 weeks we are going to have rock solid results. |
