The two almost need one another and I'm going as far as too say if you don't do both your not concerned with the maximum potential of the advantages one could achieve with intake and exhaust modification.

SAE don't lie. I PMed Z to ask all who have posted dyno's to PLEASE post SAE since I was called out on this so heavily and rightly so.(so everyone can be on the same playing field and have accurate truthfully comparisons as this has been covered in great length.) I don't believe all the posted dyno's are all SAE corrected.

Yeah, SAE is the only way to go, although I posted both just for those that wanted to see them. It's kinda like any scientific experiment where you must have a "control" or a constant to compare with to keep the results from becoming skewed. The SAE is that control because it is un-wavering.

What throws people off, I think, is the whole "actual" vs "corrected" thing. They want to see "actual" because they think it is more accurate, as opposed to "corrected" because.....well hey, it's been corrected! Know what I mean..... it's deceiving. Once you understand that the SAE standard is used as the "control", if you will, then you understand that just the opposite is true. We obviously can't control the weather and barometer, thus the SAE correction factor. Of course, this factor is only as good as the measuring equipments accuracy, but hek.....nothings perfect, right?

Thanks for all your posts on this subject........there's a lot of good stuff goin on with this thread.
