Wow. You have me wondering how much of that power was gained from curing the belt slip and the re-tune and how much was from getting rid of the dongle.

I've already got the new 4" pipe sitting in a box in my garage, I guess it's time to see what Ryne can do with it...

When I got rid of the "dongle" to a 4" I gained 3 psi.
If you want max power ditch the dongle fir a 4" as it only starves the blower for the air it wants/needs.
Under $500 for a Dewitts 2" cut down radiator and under $50 for some 4" piping and thats it.

What all is involved with the switch over? Did you order the 4" pipe from A&A?

well the first 2 pulls put down around 670rwhp before we noticed there was belt slip, i could be wrong but i would say the gains from the intake were 30-40rwhp

i had a friend fabricate one, and he also got rid of a couple of silicon couplers and made one intercooler pipe instead of having 3 pieces while he was at it
