K&N vs Rotofab

has anyone gotten dyno numbers from the K&N blackhawk intake? saw some people posted 20 HP gains but no increase above 4k RPM. Has anyone had a chance to compare it to the rotofab?

No intake is going to add a significant amount of power (no matter what anyone tries to sell you here). Just pick the one you like, or the one that's likely to have the best support if it breaks.

+1 to this. It really does not matter what platform, an intake (as long as it is decently manufactured) is fine. Not to discredit engineering, but marketing is the number one reason intakes sell. It won't be noticeable, but you should still get it if you are going to dump money in your car.

No body probably has anymore independent testing then the guys at Roto-fab. The number of combinations they have for different applications is second to none in my opinion. I know them personally and you couldn't ask for a better family run business then this one. I've always been impressed with fit/finish, Mike and I worked on some products together in the early G8GT days and really enjoyed being part of those projects also.
