Chuck,
Your the one making a very large profit from your HP claims.
So far you have made most every bullshit excuse (I'm waiting for "the computer crashed" or "the floppy drive doesn't work") for not producing the data.
Go get the raw data from your Dynojet people and post the raw data from all of your dyno runs.
Again, your the one selling 35.00 worth of parts for 300.00 and making bold HP claims. What I'm asking for is very simple, show us the raw data please.

His hang-up with the raw data is that Chuck has not produced it. If he were to do so, then this data would be questioned, and Chuck would have to provide yet another form of proof...perhaps a notarized note from the dyno operators mom...and so on and on, ad nauseum...until such point that Chuck refuses, and that becomes the sticking point that proves that the RE intake is in fact a sham, because clearly, if it were real, he would provide just that One More Thing that is being requested.

I installed the intake last Thursday when it arrived (sooner than expected) and I am impressed with fit, finish, and performance.
Mid range and top end are vastly better. I will do back to back dyno work early next week to confirm what the butt dyno is telling me. After that I will develop my own exhaust system utilizing cnc mandrel bent tubing, laser cut flanges etc.
If you want to see previous results of my work check out www.teammoonexhaust.com. SportCompact magazine rated us number one in their shootout on the MR2 Spyder exhaust and I hope to be able to produce something for my 8 that will be of premium quality and performance. As always, dyno results will be posted assuming that the results are worthy of production.
I hope that this will compliment Chuck's intake.

Yikes... Sounds like great news for RX8 owners.
PoMan, we look forward to your results! Although favorable results might mean some of us will have some crow to clean up off our plates.

Poman- It does'nt matter if you dyno it back to back or not....because you won't release the "raw data" I'm shure. 
And plus I'm shure Chuck is paying you.

I'll release bloody raw data with a pic of the car on the dyno if it'll put a smile on your face. I wouldn't know Chuck if he walked in to my shop. All I can say at this point is that the man is an honest business man like myself and that he is selling a legitimate product that I plan to test myself to prove what I am feeling in the seat of my pants.

Can you supply the filter to the UK?
Also, is anyone thinking about signing up to the group buy for this thing?

my butt and ears tell me I’m defiantly making some more power. Even if its just my ear deceiving me into thinking the car is faster, I don’t mind, since the car just sounds so much better now

If you pay for their dyno runs, I am pretty sure they will be glad to get you the verification you need.

The other buyer who posted also wrote about how it sounds great. That's nice and all, but there's still no independent verification of the power increase claims!

How are we supposed to use these sort of customer reviews to decide if this intake (or any other intake) really does provide the promised power? They're pretty unconvincing.
I should point out that I'm not in the market for an intake or exhaust, so it doesn't make any difference to me personally, I'm just interested in knowing what real improvements are available. So far, we still only have the vendor claims to go by to evaluate the relative merits of the different intake offerings or exhaust offerings. If I were going to put an intake on my car (or exhaust), you can be sure that I'd be getting a before/after dyno run to verify an improvement (how else could I exercise a money-back guarantee?). It just surprises me that nobody so far who is investing in these improvements is doing any dyno testing to evaluate the increases they're supposedly getting, or to track the improvements contributed by each component.
Regards,
Gordon

I gotta agree....plus........you trying to tell me my 8 would only have 30 hp at 1500 rpm?? Don't believe so. Looks like they just took the original curves and rotated them slightly.

Ok.....so how do I go about finding out where a dyno is in my area? I know nothing about dynos, how they work or are set up. Hell, i'm not even a motor/rotor head, I just work on helicopters for a living. I love my 8, HP or no HP.........well if there was no HP it would be sitting still............
BAck to my point, what kind of place do I look for in the yellow pages that would have a dyno and what would it cost for runs, approximately?

If you have a slight idea of how HP is related to torque and rpm, you would not have said this. How much HP do you think there is at 1500 rpm? 100? It' s not about what you believe, it's based on a math equation.

Go to http://www.pettitracing.com. They have a dyno. They are in FL but FL is pretty big so I don't know how close they are to you.

Try:

Most places are around 65.00 per hour. Bring a couple of floppy disks so you can save your dyno data.
