Dyno Tuned Race Car Intake
Had to do this to lose 15hp. Kind of amazing, really. Eventually, I need to switch to a restrictive plate as this costs me a little bit of torque.

Well, chalk that one down as a failed experiment. Worked great on the dyno, but the tape started accumulating gravel and killed my power by lap 2. Topping out at 105 and dropping kind of sucks.

Uuhh, that is how it reduces the HP, by lowering torque.

At 4,000rpms, I'm annoyed that I'm down on torque. I'm fully aware of how hp is calculated.

Annoyed I understand, not expecting it seemed strange.
