@ Onebulldogs. In a perfect world, perhaps. However, K&N is one of the few facilities in Southern California that has a four-wheel dyno, which is required when testing all-wheel-drive vehicles. So even though on the surface it may seem like favoritism or impropriety, it's more often than not a matter of necessity.

:Four-wheel dyno. Right. Look at the picture and tell us where the front wheels are.

Another thing I'm going to point out is the glaring discrepency between the dyno chart LINES and the dyno chart NUMBERS. The numbers for HP and Torque for "with K&N" have been inflated by 10 each, and the erroneous numbers were used in the calculations- for whatever they are worth, as every number in this piece is suspect. I'm actually surprised Mr. Williams... er, I mean, "By the author" didn't photoshop in his own new dyno lines- but that might have taken some effort.
...just in case it gets deleted there...
