There is no hype in this thread, just facts. If you can't see the advantages of this system, don't buy it. The inventor will get to the dyno charts when he can- too busy designing his system for those of us with GE's.

What happened to your wonderful AFE can't happen to this system. Don't insult products that you don't understand.

No hype just facts? You need go back to school to learn the difference between opinion and fact. Untill there is a dyno chart then its pure opinion.

I'll wait for dyno lol. Thanks again revd34 Hopefully when I get back to FL the PRM will be waiting for me to swap!
thank you. i can't wait. i hope you enjoy your intake

Just so people know, the long wait for the dyno has nothing to do with Gerry. I have been super busy and haven't had a chance to take my car in, I haven't even picked up the production intake yet, I'm still using the first prototype.

Hopefully if everything works out I'll be getting my intake on Thursday and the dyno should get done within the next week to week and a half.

Again sorry for the wait.

Thanks
Keith

Thumbs up dyno results are in

O.K we dyno'd Kifu's car tonight, you can consider this an independent test because i was not there.

i only have the figures for you, should have the graph soon, kifu has a print out, so you may see it tomorrow night.

base line whp = 94.1
base line torque= 91.

PRM intake whp = 99.4
PRM intake torque = 95.9

a solid 5 hp & 5 ftlbs of torque to the wheels.
should make even more power with the exhaust- stay tuned !!!

Gerry

Here's the graph. Blue line is stock air box, Red is with the PRM intake.

PM the OP.The filter end, is it supposed to be IN the hole in the fender? Mine won't go completely inside, but it's damn close lol. And the air sensor plug, was I supposed to force the nipple from OEM into the PRM? I only stuck the plug in and connected it to the harness. Didn't bother with the nipple.

trancedsailor: The filter sits derectly in front of the hole, it's not possible to put it through the hole because it's quite a . And the nipple on the PRM was made the proper size so you just put the temp sensor in, leave the rubber grommet in your stock box.

oh okay cool. I was wondering because my engine light came on and thought it was the grommet that I didn't put in lol but the CEL went away on its own. Also, the bracket. Right now I don't have the intake bracketed because I couldn't figure it out. I have 2 brackets, 2 screws and a washer, and the OEM mount-hole. Is there a way to keep the PRM from moving around (I mean it barely moves but still maybe on bumps it hits the battery or something under heavy braking).

wow so the smaller bracket hooks between the ring and the silicon tube? So I have to loosen that ring a bit and hook the bracket in and tighten the ring back up... Okay I think I get it lol I just need another bolt and nut because I'm missing one, dunno where it ran off to lol

Installed mine today, but was missing the "L" shaped bracket that attaches to the stock mount to hold everything in place. Sent an email to Garry asking if he could send me this part.
Sounds just like I expected!
