dyno PROOF on k&n filters....... part 2

well here's the "proof" for you guys that were pitching a fit in my other thread. it's all in black in white, done on the same day, under the same circumstances, so believe it or not, here it is & by the way i can post dyno sheets if you like, but i will have to email them to someone else & have them post them

btw -- this was done on a mustang dyno, so pay attention to gains & losses & not the actual numbers. mustang dynos read lower than dynojets, so there is nothing wrong with my car.

please note .......car is in stock form aside from removed silencer

here were the weather conditions.......temperature -- 63 F
barometer -- 30.3 (104)
humidity -- 48%

run #1) WITH k&n -- 208.8 hp @ 5250
244.1 tq @ 4250

run #2) WITH k&n -- 210.7 hp @ 4750
244.1 tq @ 4250

run #3) STOCK -- 215.5 hp @ 4750
246.9 tq @ 4250

run #4) STOCK -- 217.6 hp @ 4750
247.9 tq @ 4250

Here are the averages...... WITH k&N -- 209.75 hp & 244.1 tq
W/O k&n -- 216.5 hp & 247.4 tq

There WAS a LOSS of .......6.6 hp & 3.3 tq


so with all of that out of the way..... if you don't believe it i could care less, it's there in black & white. don't get all pissed at me cause you possibly wasted 55 - 60 bucks just like me. also the reason i sad "possibly" is i will also do a test between the 2 air filters again next week, after my exhaust is installed, to see if the K&N gains power after my exhaust is much less restricted.
so if you don't believe this, i doubt i could convince you the sky is blue


also....... ALL RUNS WERE DONE AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE, THERE WAS NO WARMING UP, or cooling down during the test, i put that in there because i noticed that the power just kept going up

so there you all go....enjoy

oh yeah, one more thing..... when we took the k&n out for the last two runs we forgot to plug the mass air back in , so there might have been more in there somwhere i know it wouldn't make that much of a difference, since it doesn't do that much under wide open throttle. but every little bit helps. i didn't find out unitl i got off the dyno & "tried" to drive away

LMAO@ this guy.

Of course you will have more power without a filter. Now put in the stock filter and see what happens.

I agree, what do you expect with no filter?

I didn't read the last half of the other thread. The post-hoes started going crazy and I skipped it, and then it got locked. So I didn't know he was going to dyno again (hence my question above) and his original post made no mention of using the stock filter. Why not call those runs w/stock instead of w/o K&N? It would have been clear that way.

Anyhow, back on subject - those numbers are shocking if true. Since the power just kept going up, I wonder what two more runs at the end with the K&N back on would have produced?

Please edit your original post to make 100% clear that you tested the K&N vs. the stock paper filter. I thought you may have run with no filter also.


Now this is getting very interesting.....
