0-60 runs were on a flat level runway on a 50 degree day, engine pre-warmed. I ran the tests back to back, three runs with each engine left to idle between to maintain constant running temps, so it was AAA BBB AAA BBB at full throttle each time, launching off a 2-step rev-limiter at 2400 RPM with basically a clutch dump (unsprung clutches don't like to ride out.) Wheel spin was limited.

The only reason I tested it was b/c I couldn't believe that the foam filter could restrict THAT much airflow, but I felt a major difference when I put it on, so I had to check it out.
