what about on a max effort tune? that's when I would expect to see a real difference.
I plan to have Derek at IMW update my custom tune with this Stage 2 intake system and FBO as soon I get my hands on it.

As reference, Derek tuned my car with the Stage 1 intake and FBO and he ended up at 376whp (up from around 305whp). I think we'll pick up a few more ponies but not sure how much more since we're basically at the limit of the MAF voltage and fuel system.

Do you have a link to that video? I searched Flying Gato’s list on YouTube but couldn’t find it.

Here try this link... This video shows before-and-after the PRL Stage 1 intake without changing the filter.

I'm planning to come out for that!!!
I think you're right though - running out of MAF/Fuel. The race version of the intake might help with the MAF but we're still out of fuel. We need a wet shot!

Do we have details on the race version? Haven’t been reading anything about it since the initial couple posts.

No details but I know they do a STREET and RACE versions for the 1.5T intakes with the RACE requiring a different calibration. The STREET version is plug-n-play of course.

the larger maf housing will drop your apparent airflow and raise your ceiling again. I wonder if hondata has looked into adapting LS7 maf, it has a HUGE range with good resolution.

I love the ls3/ls7 maf swapping to that maf on my old car was night and day difference but its very sensitive to turbulent air flow
