JWT POP installed. Doubters be silenced.

JWT POP installed. Doubters be silenced.
Installed my JWT POP charger yesterday. Whole operation took about 30 minutes... easy as pie.
Anywho, to the "low end loss with pop charger" people. I feel none. I can rip the tires into smoking burnouts from even a 1000rpm roll in 1st.
Top end power seems to have increased dramatically. Maybe its just the sound, but there's definately some power there. I rocketed through 130 mph with my rommate in the car last night as easily as I used to go through 120. Traffic up ahead on the highway put an end to the fun.
So in short, the JWT POP Charger comes highly recommended from me. Now when is Frankencar going to release their upper intake pipe so I can get rid of that nasty resonator between the MAF and TB.

Hahaha, Your opinion doesn't prove anything.
If you really want to silence the doubters you have to get that thing on a dyno or track!

Gains are minimal on NA engines.

I agree with what he said. I had a CAI before. Now I only use the shorter tube piece off of the CAI so I don't have to use the stock resonator. So my setup is: TB--->PR tube--->MAFS--->Filter. When compared to my old CAI setup, this setup seem to yield better gains all around. Also, for some reason, this setup seem to have an even more aggressive growl than the CAI setup. I really like this setup. The only concern I have is how hot it could get under the hood. I want to find a way to cool the interior a bit somehow.

Just like I can't prove it DOESN'T lose low end power, you can't prove that it DOES.

I have the same setup as you on my thunderbird and a CAI on my max. I do have both.
I never said anything about low end power.
I haven't been to the track since I installed my CAI.
I'll try it like it is and by putting the filter on the MAF.
cumalot, have you tested both those set ups at the track?

there is obviously a gain all around with the pop... but once you have driver for a few weeks with the intake you'll see what people are talking about a little more. I've learnt to drive so that I don't ever get the situation, but when I first had my intake I felt a hole where there was no power in the lower RPM range.

I will the next time I head to the track. I ran my best of 15.4(automagic)the first and only time I been to the track. I also had a ypipe, rt cat(didn't make any difference really), and cat-back exhaust beside the CAI. Since then I added Don's VB upgrade along with the above mentioned mods plus the recent POP charger CAI setup. So, we'll see next time. I am hoping for very low 15s, maybe even high 14s. Not too impressive, but that's an automagic for you.

My best run was 16.3 last summer w/ a K&N drop in.
(my excuses include 17" stock tires, 1/2 tank gas, 85 degrees, high humidity, 500ft elevation, AE kit weight, cali spec....)

We just like pointing them out to spite the CAI lovers.

i think its pretty much established that CAI is better for low end, and for overall sound. However, those of us (including myself), who don't wanna drill a 3 inch hole in our maximas, have a good compromise with the pop charger.. I think the only bad combination is POP + auto tranny = mad lag.

I went from a JWT Pop --> Cai.. Now I'm at the Hybrid PR Upper Tube W/JWT Pop combo.. I haven't gotten a chance to hit the highways yet to floor it. Can't wait to see the difference (if any)

You can feel it for sure. I got the same setup, PR upper tube with the PR filter(K&N actually).
