these guys have a deal on a intake manifold/throttle body combo, claiming some amazing hp gains. what do you think, click on intake manifolds and scroll down to the section featuring the s2k. they have several dyno charts available

Looks like they used an F20c for the "before" and an F22c for the "after" on the dyno chart.

I don't know anything about the guy BUT he states that with a ported manifold/throttle body and a AEM intake he "ran with a Z06". That statement alone means I personally will never go near this company.

I think he failed to mention in that quote that the Z06 was going in reverse!

I believe there is a thread from a few months back where people broke down the claims that this site made and determined it's pretty much bogus.

Showing NA (22hp) gains like that from I/TB is very unlikely considering what people show with ITB's and extensive tuning. I expect that something else is going on with that dyno that wasnt stated.

Yeah, it's definitely bogus. Look at the dyno sheet for the gains. The first S2000 redlines close to 9k rpms (ap1), the second one with the more HP redlines at just over 8k rpms (ap2). We all know the ap2 has more rwhp stock. He just used it to fool people into thinking the intake made the difference.
