I must be missing something, but I've been expecting ABA, ACA, ADA testing, and there hasn't been a hint of that in this thread. Major fail.

Do you suppose he's going to finish and quantify the testing before posting actual results, so that you can draw a conclusion based on all the data, instead of just parts and pieces spread out through several posts?

Hm... worth a thought.

Get much snow in the Bay Area? Have many single digit temps?

Just need to work thru the bugs for each test before investing the time in doing the ABA tests. I figured I'd throw in some observations and conversation while I struggle thru building this test. I'm trying to make each of these tests as effective as possible so I can know the results are real and not imagined. For instance, the ram air I set up: I have no idea if it was creating any pressure in the intake, I was hoping I could detect some differences in the MAF reading, but I wasn't so I gotta get some sore of pressure differential meter. The quick test of the HAI with an extra heater core is showing me that I need to seal things up good to get some air moving thru. Sure I started the thead full energy only to be stopped by a blizzard and many weeks of sub 20 degree weather. I had a full weekend free to work thru these problems, now I just gotta pick at it little by little when there is time.

Enjoy the ride and keep it possitive dude!

Also, Thanks Metro for your timely post on how to do testing I'll do my best to follow those guidelines.
Not reading the thread: Infinity fail plus one!

Good work, Tygen1. I can relate to testing delays due to changing weather. I can't really test at all because of where I live so I have to just see what my mileage does and rely on other peoples testing, so... thanks.

Old thread, but I have put a heat exchanger in my airbox just before/below the air filter and have a 3/8" bypass loop to the heater core source with a manual valve to adjust. Making the final hookup in the morning.

I have already blocked off the CAI and am pulling air from just above the lower Rad hose.
