We also put the mass air in the inner fenderwell for a cooler intake charge.Performance improvements with this innovative design have been fantastic! Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords tested in their November '97 issue on two different cars. The first (minor modifications) went from 10 lb of boost to 14 lb of boost and dropped 2 tenths and gained 4 mph at the strip. The second (major modifications) went from 16 lb of boost to 19 lb of boost, gained 38 hp at the rear wheels, and dropped 23 hundredths and gained 1.5 mph at the strip.------------------------------------------------------for $250 gaining 15rwhp/19rwtq is better than most bolt on mods you can get on the market. just think of it as a "bolt-on" that becomes available when you put on a centrifugal sc on your car. you can tune your car w/o a pwrpipe on then slap it on and the tune will still be okay since its a non-calibrated intake pipe. it really does no harm to the car because in a sense, you're still only running 10psi on the sc but you're just taking in a larger quantity of air in a specified volume w/ cooler air that it's "like" turning up the boost for free.honestly, its better than turning up the boost itself if you don't have a forged motor because 400rwhp wont break your car necessarily.</blockquote>
