    Has anyone ever heard or seen these guys YouTube videos? Came across it while looking at some stuff on YouTube and figured it could maybe help someone with their decision even though they are testing on totally different vehicles, but its generally the same concept with cars running on MAF sensors. I have always been amused by people who swear they get a true power gain with intakes. The way i have always looked at it was the only way to truly see a slight increase with an intake or any aftermarket bolt on is with a tune. That being said, that's why i went with URD and their MAF calibrator when i was looking into the different options.

    Oops. I never came across them before, but never really looked either.

    They're usually out on page 20 or so after someone drags out the "haterz" comments.
