Complete nonsense as the thermal efficiency of an intercooler is relative to the inlet, outlet and the ambient temperature. I have NEVER seen an intake of that nature to make any power unless you are going to dyno it with the hood open and a fan blowing at the filter. Id like to know why is it that a car with one of those intakes goes into limp mode after 4-5 consecutive dyno pulls whereas with the stock, it can go on for 15+ consecutive runs.
