I did speak with one of the wizzes at K&N and after finding out how HARD they were going to test my car, est. 9 runs to REDLINE in each gear 2nd -5th with the stock intake then again the same 9 runs to redline in each gear with the prototype kit...the key here is "estimated runs"...plus they will drive the car for approximaitly 10 miles outside of the facility. Key word there is "approximaitly" They did say they have insurance incase they damage the car...I said forget it...not worth it, I may have considered it if it included a computor reprogram, exhaust and intake...thought maybe K&N was considering other performance kits...not so.
Beside the compensation of a intake kit valued at $300-$400, 8-10 weeks later, is not worth the unknown ramifications and unseen possible damage.
They said they would give me copies of the dyno results...stock and with the kit.. So far they are seeing an average 12-18hp rear wheel increase in the Magnum RT.
So they said...
