Some info on the testing.
The performance of a cold air intake is greatly influenced by the quantity and velocity of airflow around its inlet. Testing the effectiveness of an intake on a dyno has the main shortcoming that during a run on a dyno, the air available for the engine to breath has neither the volume nor speed that exists in real world driving consitions (over the same run period).
Placing a large fan in front of a dyno fails to achieve two key requirements for a good test
1) A fan cannot replicate the quantity or velocity of air that enters the intake during a real world test run.
2) A fan cannot accelerate its airflow at a rate that matches the increasing vehicle and engine speeds during an on track test.
**Test results represent the average of 20 trials conducted in near identical conditions. When calculating averages, the two best and two worst scores are not counted. Trials that how a consistent gain or loss over the test period are re-tried until consisstent results are achieved (the assumption being that changes in atmospheric or track were significant enough to skew the results over the test period)**
With Carbonio Intake 15.5sec @ 91mph
With stock Intake 15.9sec @ 88mph
To achieve these results require a gain of 10-12 horsepower.

CF is tough depending on directional force
If you have a sheet of CF and you try to twist it. It will still break. But trying to crush it by pressing both ends is a different story.
