Wow ....we whine about everything today dont we. Zero issues with the name.

We appreciate all of the feedback and can understand the skepticism as this is a completely new product category for us, but you can trust that we don't put products out on the market without first testing them ourselves to ensure performance benefits. Horsepower and torque gains on our 2016 SS with our new Delta Force Cold Air Intake were both in the high teens over the stock baseline. We'll be sharing dyno sheets in this thread soon.

If high teens--at the wheels, is really what your intake will offer, then you would have found something that no other cold air intake manufacturer has. I'm hoping that this is not accomplished by leaning the air/fuel out to borderline unsafe conditions.

I think the real test would be with the hood closed and not open and the engine hot. With it cool and the hood open, it will probably post gains, but that doesn't mean on the road it will have the same results.
