What I've read is that while K&N's pass more volume at a specified pressure, they also pass more and larger particulates. Well, my engine ain't gettin' any younger, and making it inhale the grit that passes for air around here isn't going to improve matters. So, paper filters get the nod. They've gotten the job done all this time. They're a buttload cheaper, too.

Now, "we take our testing seriously around here" would imply that, if you're going to take the trouble to hook the silly truck up to the dyno, you might as well engage all the bells and whistles the dyno has, yeah? So seeing the Power gauge and Torque gauge on the dyno readout didn't impress me any. They both read 0.

I do these magazines the right way - at the library. At one time they were pretty fun, but anymore the mags are entirely too biased toward manufacturers. Whoever has brought out the most recent product is going to place either first or second in whatever comparison. If a next-level ringer is brought in, usually they'll let the newest product win and count coup against the ringer.

It's all just dumb.

I read Jalopnik a lot. Some Winding Road. And then I just wander around and drooooool on eBay Motors.
