I was reading the SR20DEforum today and found this disscusion:

Lots of these guys are claiming more power with a WAI(butt dyno mostly). I found a couple of posts interesting and though about what I asked you here.

I have always been in favor of the Pop charger with some sort of 2.5" mandrel tubing from the TB to the MAF to help with flow. Sure the CAI does better in dyno testing. But, one thing it does not show is the flow of air when the car is actually moving. In that case, the difference in air temperature will virtually become null. And, since the POP has less bends to disturb optimal flow conditions, it may actually prove to be better.

I was thinking about this myself.
when the car is standing still on the dyno, the air is pretty constant. I've seen some people putting fans in front for the intercoolers and stuff, but can those really blow at 40-80 mph?
at that speed I'd think there'd would be some sort of pressure change. maybe even a suction pulling air away from the filter
What do you think? I think their testing methods are not consistant or accurate enough to prove conclusive, *BUT* it has got me thinking that maybe there is something to all off this Dyno vs. On road intake performance differences.
I am gonna shoot over to the NA section a make a post and see what I come up with since I am soon to get a HS CAI.

A properly designed CAI is best.
