Kinetix Intake Manifold on 3.5 Engine

I see the dyno graphs supplied by kinetix in the group deal section, but does anybody have their own dynos with this IM installed? I'm interested to see what the gains are like now, because from what I understand Kinetix has re-designed this product to put out more horsepower than it did when it first came out... and most of the threads on this topic are pretty old.

Anybody have dynos or just testimonials on how it feels... either stock or with other supportng mods?

Jesus, not this again No one has had an independent definitive dyno showing any real gains. I don't recall a recent redesign, it;s been years.

1.) People who have had these installed need to learn how to dyno.
2.) Need to have a baseline dyno.
3.) ???
4.) Profit?

Here are the old threads just for the hell of it.

yeah.. i dont know if those are the same links that u posted in the group deal thread, and frankly, i dont feel like looking right now.. lol.. (that changing to "old thread" stuff is pain in the @$$).. but this thread was started because i figured maybe it was a possibility that someone had recently gotten a kinetix IM and gotten a dyno.. i know the one guy in one of your links said he FELT a big difference, but i would like to see some numbers aside from what kinetix says.. and also some numbers/testimonials from people with and without an I/H combo

because when i get my 5.5 gen, i plan on getting that IM plus intake, headers, and maybe the IM spacers.. i figure that should put down some decent numbers

I'm a fuggin bad ***, those are the real links, but you being lazy, well you wouldn't know that because you didn't link them, because I actually took the time to find the updated threads so you don't have to type in old thread because I know how lazy most of you are.

How the hell do you think I feel? I am the same way as you, since what people feel and what people actually put down are 2 different things.

Anyway, cliffs:
Nothing new has happened re: DRF's/ETC.
