One thing that may be taking a few HP away is the cold air ram air kit. The barn door mass air needs a velocity stack to work correctly. If you look at the stock air box they all had one. When I was running a kit like that I made my own stack out of some intercooler pipe and welded it to the adpater that mounts up the mass air.sigpic"If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself." -Ferdinand Porsche

^ Truth. Your low end suffers without that trumpet shaped piece that comes in the airbox. I custom made my own smooth transition piece inside of the AFM adapter with a nice gradual transition from the round adapter to the square AFM inlet. I didn't notice any losses when switching intakes with this custom piece like you do normally.
