I would switch from my Blackwing if: 1. It was the same quality of filtration as the BW. 2. If it was proven to provide a noticeable power increase over a BW. 3. It was priced reasonably. If you could do those things I would switch. Good luck because it won't be easy. :cheers:

I would be interested. I'll even offer my car as a beta tester. Keep us posted John.

Like many have said before, I need to see independent standardized dyno testing on the same car with each system attached under typical conditions (stock, exhaust, h/c). If you're willing to do that (maybe with some trusted forum members in attendance?) you'll make big points over here, and also know where your design truly stands.

Go for it, just don't claim to be the best until you can back it up. :cheers:
