MYTHBUSTERS DYNO run w/ 430 and different intakes!!!
I just wanted everyone to know that we will be conducting some DYNO runs to finally see which intake will make the most HP on our cars.
Hopefully we will also have a 55 available and MAYBE Blackbenz will be able to show up as well. All in all it should be a good test so we will let everyone know the results as it happens.
This is the link that started it all: https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...24#post2436524
if anyone is in Marietta, GA or would like to show up you are more than welcome.

Still would luv to have your monster there.
Not worth the drive for a little dyno play though. I wouldn't mind coming to MIR though, should be awesome.

I have one and it's currently not residing on the car it came from. Obviously I completely disagree that it's the "best" I believe it's crap for the Kompressor engines, but who else makes a "better one"
It will however supply the needs of a non Kompressor engine better, but that one is not better than the single one I have. I can bring it to the dyno too.
Explain this
I heard a mercedes powertrain engineer comment to the participants attending the 2006 Atlanta AMG meet that when asked by others in reference to my project, responded with "he will not make 1 single more horsepower with his intake." He apologized at the dyno, but not before acusing me of a chip tune, and I told him to download it, the gains are honest.
Your little comment sounds similar, open your mind and you might learn. Did you tell all the aftermarket suppliers in your sig not to bother trying to make improvements too? You might try cheering someone on.

Gregory13lil- No problem, I was just a little confused. Thought I may have lost my mind.
mbenzman- You should definitely roll up for MIR. Either fly in or contact pte and rflow and roll up with them. Its gonna be a blast!

I have an acquired distaste for driving through Va., it feels like the gauntlet, wayyyy too many police games for way too many miles. How do I get around that? Drive around Va. maybe? Maryland's no pleasure either though, but at least it's not a huge state.

I still may, last I heard PTE and Rflow were shipping their cars up. No rolling with them.

Nope, you are referring to the additional "civil fines" which are instate only. It doesnt matter what state you're from, 20mph over is considered reckless and is a jailable offense as well as a misdemeanor that stays on your record for 11 years! 
They can only suspend your license in VA since it is a commonwealth but the jail time is the biggest deterrent.
