Oh here is one for you guys to scratch you head on.  Yesterday was local car group race at BSD, plus Jensen race.  Well my car was still in showfield mode, mean stock air box installed.  Well first pass of the day was 12.41, then next was 12.44, with mid to high 1.7 60fts again.  Im going great, swapped back in the Airaid, mistake.  12.52, with mid 1.8s 60fts.  Ok, now Im confused.  We do our group race, I was 1 for 3, left the Airaid i  and delt with it.  So open time shots for Jensen race, I swap the stock box back in, and did 3 back to back passes.  12.44  12.40, 12.37, yeah interesting.  60fts were back into the 1.7s again.  Yeah really confused, but numbers dont like.  DA was normal gor BSD at 2300.  In beginning of May, I raced and was running mid 12.5s with the Airaid.  So seems my new setup likes the stock air box alot better.

Also a side note, while doing the 3 back to back passes, I did get to look at AIT2 while going thru the traps.  AIT1 read 80, AIT2 read 60.  I was thrilled at that.  Meth and GH intercooler are def a good combination. 

Yesh lost first round in the Jensen race, driver was getting tired.  Long day at the track, dial to high and broke out my .003.  Oh well.  They better be ready for the next one, I def will be.

Damn....has this info been shared before about stock air box?  I don't recall someone doing swaps at the track with an Airaid or equivalent intake.....thats some really great info and clearly the stock air box is wayyy better than the hot air intakes a lot of us have. 

Thank you for sharing.  I love the hood open look of my Airaid...but numbers don't lie....Ill be buying a k&N filter and dropping the stock air box back in for track day....maybe every day! 

Again...awesome info and thanks for sharing!!!

Yeah Rich Yaklin did a test years back.  He did Mdesign, stock, Airaid.  They were all in within less than a tenth.  With old IC, car never ran a 12.3 time in June.  It was always in October.

I think it has to do with cfm.  More cfm is not always better.  Might be pushing other components such an sensors and probably the tune past their limits.  I would think if the system is looked at in totality, with a tune correction, the Airaid would win.

But this is great news for those wanting to retain the stock box :). Maybe a k&n dropin can be tested next time!

Would be nice once the EPP intake is finished to get some numbers. See how it affects intake temps and flow. Might see more than a tenth of a difference. See where it stacks up in the world of our intakes.

It's supposed to decrease WGDC by roughly 8% as well.

Have you ever driven one? The only way I can describe it, is to take a kitchen chair and place it on top of your bed. Then try to sit on it. They are awesome trucks but they have so much suspension travel it feels odd cornering. Especially coming from a car that handles ok and reacts decent.
