anyone else see the humor in this link to airaids website, stating that they made 10 hp on a dyno chart showing the torque output of a v10 truck with and without their intake.

 

Oooooppppssss !!!!

Easily explained by marketing...

"Er, Ah, with THIS engine at this rpm the torque control module ensures it's a one to one relationship between torque and HP to makes sure the emissions of the gasoline and diesel do not cross-pollinate"

BUT, at least they released dyno sheets !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

You have to get something for $235.00

 

Is that all ? ? Give me two!!!

 

HP is an artificial number derived from torque.

HP = Torque * RPM / 5,252

If you increase torque, you increase HP.

Looks like a pretty innocent typo to me, it might actually be more than a 10hp gain at high RPM.

Waxy

 

its definatly an innocent typo... and if you go to all their other charts, they are correctly stating hp or torque gain on the correct graph. i have no intentions of badmouthing the company ... its just funny.


and yes, its awesome that they release dyno charts. i want to see macs ... with a gain of 18.9 hp on the 5.4

 

I think all of us took it as a typo... and joked...save one :-)

 

ok .. good ... i did get a serious kick out of your marketing explanation .. sounds like something some of our salesman would say .... like how the inside curve lane of a conveyer is .... "specially designed to go faster" ... gee, racecars must have the same special design ... called ... its a shorter distance ... at least to the rest of the world

 

LOL...
and then Honda goes and announces that their new all wheel drive REALLY does that !

powers the outside wheel faster than the inside to drive around the corner !!!
