I asked this before, but I think it got lost in all of the hoopla from before.

Does anyone have any thoughts on why it shows a decrease in HP and Torque? I would like to guess that the TT takes up space. It decreases the volume of the intake. The flow may be more linear, however I would bet that the Cubic feet per min of air is lower than stock because the TT reduces overall volume.

If you look at factory exampes of this technology, you will notice that it makes laminar flow of air without changing the overall volume of the air intake tubes.
