Really? So RAI with or without a shield, will make less power with the hood open, then a CAI on a dyno???
Was this back to back testing? What kind of power difference?
I do not doubt your experiences, but that is very hard to believe.
I could actually maybe see that happening (noticeable power anyways) if the RAI has no shield, and the engine/cooling fans are on....as I have seen NUMEROUS times where are car made more power with a shield, because of the hot air hitting the filter from the fans kicking on, throwing off the MAF.
