Yes, this is power at the wheels. That works out to about a 23% loss of power through the tranny (225 hp engine spec output vs. 173 hp (stock set-up) at the wheels)
Seems kind of a high loss to me, I thought the AT would be a bit more efficient and we would see a bit closer to 200 hp at the wheels.
Also, I would be intersted in seeing some comparisons of 1/4 mile and 0-60 times with this new intake. When looking at intake performance there are different air flow dynamics in play when the car is in motion as compared to strapped to a dyno.
I have little doubt that this short ram "breaths" better than the stock set-up, but from looking at these photos, I strongly doubt this short ram is getting a colder (denser) air charge than the stock setup when the car is in motion. Still, it looks pretty slick. Thanks again June!
