Testing any intake component's characteristics is difficult, even with a flow bench.. Thats because individual cylinders can be impacted.
To properly evaluate the system the engine must be used as the testing instrument.. Inadequacies in the intake system are easily measured with EGT and net CFM of the engine with the proper equipment.
The various components could be evaluated with a flowbench, but its impossible to simulate the same conditions that are present with the engine in operation on a flowbench.
2K3,
I hope you aren't basing the performance of your Porsche only on the peak output numbers.. I compare components at part throttle and also pay close attention to the average outputs across the usable RPM range of the vehicle that are determined by it's application.
I see cars that make big peak numbers on the dyno that don't have any faster 0-60 times or 40-80 times... More peak power doesn't necessarily mean that you'll go faster. Getting caught up on numbers is the fastest way to become seriously disappointed when someone with a bone stock car goes faster..
As we say, the "Bigger is Better Crowd" is always easiest to beat.. They beat themselves most of the time :-)
246 is a strong 3.2 for sure..What have you done to the car?
