Not quite sure what you mean by throttle body-out intake.

I have this system on my car. Very Nice . Since day one i have not been disappointed. There is a bunch of threads on the AGS that have alot of information about it. But like joker said, are you trying to compare it to a certain Intake??

not im just trying to see if people are pleased with the performance of this intake. wht i mean by TB out is that most intakes just consist of the hose after the throttle body, this one is before the throttle body.
its not a real term or anything. but yeah, im thinking about the intake. what differences have you noticed with that intake?

Do a search for the intake and you will find so much information on the setup. You will also find numbers comparing the intake to ther intakes as well!

A side note, the numbers posted for the air gain setup is lower than that of the alta and the pilo intake. M7 said that this is caused due to lack of air flow flowing in the front of the car and preventing real world performance to show its real gains. So I can not vouch for the lower numbers, as well as I have a pilo instake and seeing that the Pilo got some good numbers and with the combo of the alta hose, it should be on pare with the alta. You should also note that the dynos is to show a baseline of what kind of power can be had at the wheels. Numbers achieved on the streets with proper air flow may show better gains. Research is the key!

I thought i remebered seeing on someones dyno that they stated they had put a fan in front of the car on one of the runs with the AGS and the number's bumped up some just for the fact that air was flowing to the intake.

The fan in front of the car will help, but do not forget that it would benefit not just the M7 but also the other intakes as well!

Take a look at the Webb HDi box before you make your final decision.
