Just curious if anyone thinks having a ram air cold intake pipe
BMC filter and RPI exhaust gives any power increase if any?

estimate or not, secondary info has a few variables...dyno, dyno operator, even the driving style of invidual can effect the outcome measures..
also: increases in hp are not cumalative: meaning the RPI scoops are 1-2 hp increases where the RPI exhaust is ???? (not even sure what that number is, but let's say 10 hp hyporthetically), that does not translate to + 11 or 12 hp...
so your exact set up, especially since you have a self made scoop vs rpi scoop or other brand would not really apply, hence an independent dyno....motorcepts is local to you and has a dyno correct? Dyno's don't run too much....I'm actually a bigger fan of vbox measurement rather than dyno numbers, but dyno numbers tend to be the normal form of measurement...
in any case, good luck with your search, I wasn't trying to just be vague and useless with my original post...

looks like you already have everything installed, why wouldn't you want to get a dyno?
