This car is actually beathing underhood air, which is roughly 25 degrees hotter than external mass air, through a filter that I am guessing was supposed to reduce restrictions and improve performance.
And what is up with the cheesy low-performance intake manifold? Why bother with an aftermarket air filter when you have a Briggs & Stratton intake manifold? The real one (2005 Turbo HO) is non-metallic, and actually BREATHES.
So, at WOT, he has maybe ...MAYBE reduced restriction by 2 or 3 % ( this is a turbo car- 12 pounds boost is 12 pounds of boost whether the air filter is restrictive (which it was not) or not.
To get that 3% gain, he accepts a 15 to 20% loss AACROSS THE ENTIRE OPERATING RANGE for the lost mass, heat-soaked under-hood air he is feeding the engine.
I am betting there is a picture with neon lights on the car underside too is there?
Lets at least use a little common physics here, shall we?
Cheers guys,
Joe

Where do your numbers come from.....Dynos please or drag times....
lets see if my joemath is any good....
3% x7.65% - 12 * 17.635279 of yea plus the flow of a=b squared equals the inverse tangent of the orthagonal normal line of the hp curve when the rpm's equal 2000-2100 but we must consider agian there is a 6.768% correction factor based on temp drag roll and other bull.
When you add up all this and joes numbers you get= one big pile of bull $hit
But thanks for the great post joe
