Congrats on your 2000th post PSD!
I'm assuming that both curves were taken on the same dyno and corrected for standard conditions but it would be interesting to have that confirmed.
It would also be interesting to see someone - in a dyno facility with clean air - do a set of dyno runs with a fresh stock air filter to basesline and then another set of runs with no filter at all.
It would be interesting to see how the performance under 2000 RPM compares with the AFE.

It must be taken into account where the power is made- look at the curves. These are MAX gain numbers, not peak gain numbers. The peak numbers are much lower, and their graphs accurately display this.
Matt, the real test is whether or not it provides same as or better filtration and still gives you added performance. I would also like to see dyno numbers at the rear wheels for a new stock filter and a new aFe Stage 2.
The marketeers are always trying to part us from our money and will say anything to accomplish that goal.
