The Mace box wont be worse then the standard setup, but its a little nieve to have expected to feel any difference.

Its another one of those things that goes to aid the over all efficiency of the engine. The easier it is for the motor to perform one action the less engergy is spent doing it.
Its all about Volumetric efficiency.

Definition of Placebo - Wow, that Chev badge added 50hp, i felt a lot more response in the throttle straight away...

This is much the similiar effect of any CAI... i doubt you will notice a difference

Two hole mod is a placebo.
Airbox still flows the same.

That said any gain you notice will be very very very minimal with any kind of CAI. Without other mods.

Gee we must be attracting an awful number of naive people, more so the fact that they’ve actually taken the time out to write up reviews of these products in addition to some of them taking the time out to do some practical data logging.

So what do you guys think, every single one of those people are naive? Call me naive but as good as my “sales” skills are and the number of people with actual product experience, statically speaking I would be inclined to say no

if it helps Steve we noticed a difference in data when I put the insulators on then we tuned the Alloytec with VCM. I cant remember what changed exactly, but it had to be adjusted to suit having the insulators in ... but that's just going off data VCM suite had collected opposed to how things felt and that was for the insulators not the air box.

Well it's great to see people actually testing out our products instead of others speculating about them without any product experience

Cheers,
Steve
