Right. I think everyone understands that. I'm not going to spend $400/hr on the dyno just to determine whether or not a couple of charcoal filters had any improvent... and if so, exactly how much. That's silly
I'll use it as a guide. If my car dynoes at 530 before tune... well, then I'll assume it didn't do much. If it dynoes at 540... I'll estimate that removing them was worth "about" 10hp... give or take.
I agree though.... it certainly isn't going to hurt anything.
I did it's first oil change today (did a pictoral writeup in this forum), and I wrote BR Performance a few hours ago to schedule a dynotune appointment. "Hopefully" they can get me in next weekend? Maybe the following. I'll do a writeup once it's tuned.
