i misread 8th for gears, just wanted to clarify because i have never used 6+ gears after 500 or so miles, only wifey drives in automatic.
did you post time slips? 660 feet is a short distance to pull a whole car length with just an intake... perhaps different tires and drivers played a part?

To put some numbers with a sealed K&N:
BLITZ R-VIT iColor results:
I got a peak of 336 g/s of air flow (not yet tested on high speed runs)
Outside vs Intake Temp: -4 deg. C vs. -1 deg. C. while driving
Outside vs Intake Temp: -4 deg. C vs. 10 deg. C. while idle (1 min)
I will retest with a BLITZ SUS Intake (from my UZZ40 - which happily fits also the K&N adapter tube) to see if there is more air to flow.

@Clifftrail - unfortunately i didn't (got my BLITZ RVIT after), but what i can say so far: without my custom heatshield, the K&N cone and tube felt much hotter after driving... so there is a big difference compared to a proper heat sealed intake.

I know im gonna get bombarded for this but the Joe Z is just a sleeve, it shouldent even be considered an Intake if it still uses the stock air box... (No offense Joe, you do great work).. I just find it hard to pay approx $200 for 5 hp..

The smoother air flow gives a proven 5-6 Rwhp Gain.. and its only $140
It's design optimizes the OEM Airflow path.
BTW - No offensive taken...
