CFM 7.3 Intake Manifold!!! - Ford Powerstroke Diesel Forum
Every body is against it making any real power. I think the money is better spent on an intercooler or a turbo. Maybe this is the last piece to a truck with all the other mods.

no real numbers have been posted..this is the best we got...
this a copy and past from another forum
I took your advice. Called over there and talked for a bit. First off, regardless of anything else, the guy was so cool and straightforward that I have to start with that. Freakin great guy... (it was a half after 5 before we got done rambling)
Secondly....
They have an in-house flowbench. They flow the parts at ~1000 CFM (while that's around triple what will probably be flowing through the part when it's in use, it serves as a consistent test point nonetheless)
They see a 15% increase with their part, vs the OE piece. Although he mentioned that the focus was on smoothing and laminar flow, rather than pure flow quantity. I would call that air "quality" myself.
The part is so new they don't have much testing to date, or aren't ready to release it if they do.
But, on similar applications they have recorded temperature reductions in the 50 - 75* range. I didn't think to ask if that was at idle or running down the road, but it's a concrete number nonetheless.
While nobody can say what the changes to <ACRONYM title="Intake Air Temp">IAT</ACRONYM> will be for most people, and how substantial a role that will play in <ACRONYM title="Exhaust Gas Temperature">EGT</ACRONYM> and <ACRONYM title="Rear-Wheel Horse Power">RWHP</ACRONYM>, I have to say, these guys do their homework, and they are a GREAT bunch of guys, if the guy I spoke to was any indicator of the rest of them.
That goes a long, long, long way in my book.
