Why not? Just looking for a net difference with/without the spacer. Doesn't matter what other mods you have when you're only adding/removing the one component.

Beat you to it. As you can see, we lost a little bit of power in the low-RPM range until the airflow disadvantage of the stickers was offset by their obvious awesomeness. Then after that, it was all power. We're really happy with how they worked out, and I'm as surprised by these results as anyone.

You can buy them through me for only $329.99, but supplies are limited. One per customer please - this is too much awesome for any mortal to have more than that.

I'm not even bothering to post a corrected graph, I can only imagine the claims that'll start. We also didn't make 100 before and after runs. We made 3 full pulls back to back and 30 mins later made 3 more. And it begins...
why is it so hard to put the information from inside the software to print it on the dyno sheet? I have a 530whp e55 with kleeman cams and full stage 5 kit running a 185mm pulley and can do exactly what u did on a dyno sheet just dumping the car 2 times the power will drop off from heat soak.

if u put the damn info I'm asking for it will prove the gains because the runs will be time stamped from the dyno software and all ****ing conditions will be posted like air ****ing temp and humidity.

I can dyno my e55 and wait 1 ****ing hour later and post the same gains without ****ing doing any spacers.im done with this thread.

you won't even post the run conditions on the sheet because u know u are cheating and are all friends

^ This is what those of us that did not drink the koolaid have been saying. PACougar - you did three runs each, back to back? That means you should have six graphs, stamped with full details including time and conditions for each run. Can you please post ALL of them complete with said details?

And here goes this guy ^ posting more pics and no content. Laughing all the way to the bank with all the suckers buying these.

Mr Inventor, why don't you share with us the physics and airflow dynamics behind this thing rather than posting more awesome pictures.

I bet they could squeeze a few more hp out of them if they paint them blue. Everyone knows blue makes more hp than red. And green? Fuggetaboutit.

Sorry to restart this thread, but I found something interesting yesterday. The airbox that come with the supercharger are already spaced. Maybe there is some truth to this??? Not claiming anything, just throwin it out there.

Yeah I didn't see it at first either. This is what he's talking about. Looks like a completely different airbox bottom, not modified. See the space between the intake 'pipe' and where the filter sits.

Is there a MB part number stamped into that lower airbox part? Curious to see what car it's from.

Does the Weistec kit come with new airbox bottoms? It's not in their picture of parts.

If it does, maybe it's required because the Y pipe sits higher because of the new TB location?

There was no part number only magnuson logos. I dont think it's an MB part, magnuson probably straight up made their own.

Judging by the looks of the web page, it doesn't look like they include new ones. But will need someone with a Weistec sc to confirm.

Weistec doesn't have any intake lower boxes or any intake upgrade for that matter as part of their supercharger kit. They do offer the ROW air box lids separately, but thats just the lids, which use the stock lower box.
