6.2 Raptor AFE Intake Dyno Results!

[MagicMtnDan]

Dynoed the truck this morning then installed AFE Intake and 5 Start updated tune. Proof is in the pudding!

Do you know the HP gains from the AFE Intake only?

I'm curious to see what numbers you have for the AFE alone and then with the Tune.

So why not have the best filtration possible with a high flowing aftermarket tube.

I am a little confused by this statement.....
I don't remember saying anything along that line.
You seem to be under the impression that you know the BEST filter out there. What were your testing parameters? Or are you just trolling for an argument?

Is there a new tune?

diablo there all basically the same I happen to have the diablo but the 5 stare is just as good. + 5 stare you'll probably get a discount being on the forum.

Where is the proof in your own previous statement? There's no way that the tube is at its maximum potential airflow with a big filter at its entrance. Its common sense. If it was then you wouldnt see dragsters running wide open intakes or engines being dynoed with no filters for max numbers. The filter does restrict airflow to the engine. How much does the afe vs. the volant? Only a back to back dyno would tell. But again its common sense that the less restrictive one is going to let more air in and net more hp. I could waste my time and post numerous posts from other members about the complete lack of filtration in the AFE and how the volant has the absolute best filtration but I'm not going to do that because of your laziness to make a single search and figure it out yourself

That was rather a long winded way of saying "NO, I don't have any proof"
If you look at the rated airflow of any of the mentioned air filters & then do a little research on the cfm capabilities of a 3" tube, you would see the filters flow more air than the tube can.

But go ahead, 20 years old & you know more than an engineer with a 10 year degree, who designed the systems

Sounds like code for trolling to me. I've read a review that the says Volant inhibits performance. Research, make an assessment, pick your poison.

Any time you install an intake and the tube is bigger than stock. You need to re tune the MAF Transfer table to get the correct air/fuel.

Mike at 5 star said the AFE needs 13% more fuel.

I never argued Against your statement that the filter outflows the tube. The fact of the matter is the engine still has to pull air through the tube and the filter will hinder the amount of air that can flow through the tube into the engine. Sure the filter ALONE may flow 400 cfm and the tube ALONE may flow only 380 cfm but when there is a filter at the entrance of the tube, it is restricting airflow at the entrance of the tube and will not allow the tube to flow 380 cfm. Instead it may be 320 cfm. My point was that a filter prevents dirt and harmful particles from entering the engine, BUT at the cost of maximum airflow. The better job the air filter does, the less air it will flow. Based on reviews made by other members on this forum, the volant clearly does a better job at filtering, therefore it would be interesting to see how much less hp it adds compared to the afe

No need to blow it out of proportion and get as angry as the guy in your own avatar looks though

And as for Spenny, your a newb taking the band wagon approach and dont even practice what you preach. He says he read "A" as in singular review from an unknown source blatantly saying that volant inhibits performance implying that this is stance on this argument. And yet he says research, make an assessment, pick your opinion. 1 ****** review from who knows where doesn't qualify as research

If you run e-30 you don't need an air filter, your engine will be destroyed anyhow. Hahaha IMO aFe has technology that violent has yet to tap. But to do a test with dust is the only thing I can see would work. Some one could set that up.
