True it could be a downpayment on a CAI. I misunderstood like other people in here that have replied to your statement in other threads and thought that you meant it produced
no power gains at all which you'll agree that it does by just looking at the interior roughness with all the ridges of the stock pipe. Well, I got my AEM SR for $50 from a friend so I can't go wrong
I guess it really depends on power to money ratio:
My AEM SR: $50/~3.5hp = $14.29/hp
Reg. AEM SR: $103/~3.5hp = $29.43/hp
AEM V2: $255/~7.9hp = $32.28/hp
So, the price to power ratio is about the same for an SR and V2. Sure you can go get a V2 and get the most power from any intake, but the bottom line is...what are you willing to spend on an intake? And if you are willing to spend $200-300, then I agree, sure, that's the best way to go, but if you don't want to spend that much even if you have the funds, then the SR should give you the same "bang for the buck." If this theory didn't work, everyone would be on Koni Yellows instead of KYB AGX's.

Secondly, do you have the 'timeslips' to prove that you have even graduated from college? I'm sorry, but you haven't presented yourself in a way that would make me even believe this is remotely true. If so, then what are "view factors", what parameters do you need to know for calculating how much a cantilever beam will deflect when a force is applied at the tip?
If you have an ME degree, these should be easy questions since they're from basic 2nd year level mechanical engineering courses.
