Couldn't that small of a difference be attributed to different dyno runs? There is a margin for error with dynos...

We did six different vehicles at a Dyno Day and all showed improvement as stated! This with just a quick bolt on between dyno runs - a 5 or 10 minute gap!

I had the wedge, when I was all bolt ons, got 1 to 2 RWHP at the top of the rpm range. We Dynoed it at GPI so it does add some hp. Not sure if it would be affective on an LSA SC. If I had mine still, I'd try it to find out...

Hmmm... $400 for an intake to gain 10-15 times the rwhp compared to the $70 wedge. Value?
