I have two pressure sensors set up and ready to data log the pressure in the intake runner both with and without the snorkel to see exactly what does happen..

All tests that I have seen have been done at WOT on a dyno where peak power rules, but I believe that lower engine speeds and cruising the de-snorkel may be hurting performance. Thats because the intake was designed with the snorkel in place-

My chassis dyno is almost completed and my new 28 channel data logger is ready to be installed, between the lab and field testing of my test cars I'll gain and share lots of data soon on this subject.
