Anyhow, that shows 70.29 % efficiency AVERAGE based on my testing... keep in mind this was constantly beating the car to death.... acceleration, etc. Read the foot notes. But basically, for a stock IC it is doing a pretty good job. Unless you go the extra mile, you dont need much more.
Also be careful when comparing this to OTHER SMIC setups, like Forge or Forced Performance. They are going to claim efficiency, but how? Based on increased percentage of surface area? Cubic volume? And if they tested like I did (air temps before/after IC compared to ambient) be careful too... my tests were at the pancake pipe and the throttle body... any OTHER pick-up spots would make it uncomparable... (ex: if you tested air at the turbo and at the IC exit point, numbers would change)..
Hope this helps.. good luck...
