Jr = 170bhp/ton

136 divided by 0.8 will give u the above.

Jr> I notice you are running the std airbox setup aswell, I found this to be the best solution on my corsa after many attempts with different kinds of cone and panel filter. No flat spots.

Thats why manufacturers spend £1000's on R&D, all that heat shielding is for a reason.

In theroy if you are belting along open roads at high revs and sucking in loads of cold air through a larger diamater induction intake then that is better, but in the real world we all know it dosnt work like that.

^^^^ sorry gotta agree, its two primary functions are to reduce induction noise and use as a flame trap
