The dudes on this forum (me included) have tuned, been tuned, tooled, re-tooled, modded, and tweaked their brains out, and still I have yet to see anyone on here report that they're even getting a consistent and solid 14MPG (unless it's all flat highway miles with the cruise control at 55 MPH).

If you can figure out how to make your box get a consistent 5+ MPG over the a stock setup, I'll be the first to PM you.

Just because you have an open eliment with no silencer that make loud voom voom sounds doe's not mean you are makeing more power . Modern cars and trucks (your H2) have a computer . The IAT will send a signal to your computer and adjust for hot intake . Cool air is better than hot air to make power .Even on non computer cars this is true .As far back as 1957 Chevrolet knew this . Look up 1957 Chevrolet Air Box Corvette . Drawing /ramming cold air in an engine gives the best power . This is a fact
Choose to beleive what you want ,It won't change the facts .:raar:
