As stated by CFI owners on other C4 Forums, the existing aftermarket intakes for a CFI , like the X-Ram give similar improvements ( one person 36Hp with X-Ram swap only )so this this is not a "magical" intake based on the current dynoed performance from one test car.
I am well aware of the X-Ram. However, this is a different beasty with different flow rates.
There is no guarentee that the bigger ports will actually product more power. For all I know, the improvements may not be better for an otherwise stock engine than a ported OEM manifold. Now, what will it do with a hotter motor? Good heads, cam, etc, to take better advantage of the flow rates.
That's why I would like to see some test results. I don't go with absolute statements until I have something to hang my hat on.
