Can I really expect a gain like the one the dyno sheat says I will. Thanks for any help you guys and gals can give me.

I actually just bought that same one. Came UPS last tuesday. I love it. The sound from the SC is amazing. I have noticed a gain in throttle response, smoother shifts, and better acceleration from low RPM's. Havent taken it to the dyno, but based on the way it drives now, it is possible that those gains shown on the dyno charts are accurate. U will love the intake.

I'm the first person to own the WR intake and I love it. I can't say that it's better than any other intake for RL's. But I was at the dyno (it was my car they used). No matter what people think, the numbers are real. They didn't munipulate the dyno or give higher correction factors to give higher numbers.

It's completely legit believe it or not.

i dynoed 3 intakes guys.... the aem . weapon r and k&n. we saw the largest gain by only .3hp with the k&n. the weapon r and the aem made almost an identical graph. while yes they made power they did NOT make as much as suggested. but im not knocking any of them the k&n did not make what it was "rated" to make either i have full access to a dynojet and can dyno anything and yes i tested stock only reason i never finished the testing is injen never sent one to test they backed out and aem was supposed to get me thier new cold air and that never materialized either. ill see if i can dig up the graphs. if anyone has an injen to test id love to see what it can do also.

there was a decent gain though not saying there was near no gain, we actually saw a pretty respectable gain from allof them on the redline just not anywhere near what was "published"

[zfactor]

and i should say they each did have thier strong points. the real difference was the aem/weapon r making a different graph than the k&n due to the differences in intake lengths of course.

So TMR after you bought yours how lokg did it take for you to get it? Thanks for the info Z, I figured that what they were claiming was high gains for an intake but you never know.

It took about a week and a half. The seller uses the cheapest UPS type shipping. But shipping was free so I didnt mind. U are able to track the progress of ur package using UPS's website.

I bought the thing on Saturday. He told me I would be notified when the thing got shiped but at this point I have yet to be notified. Was the intake hard to install or were there direction with it.
