Comparing intake horn performance????

I am considering an intake horn upgrade. Right now, I am leaning toward CFM+, but I seem to recall somewhere in the past that I saw a chart comparing the top 4 or 5 side by side. Did I dream it or did anyone else see that chart????

I am interested in CFM+, AFE Bladerunner, ATS, and GDP for now, but would consider others. Not looking for mega-horsepower, just want to lower the EGTs as much as possible. I am thinking about meth injection down the road, so a ported unit would be nice.

Mainly, I want better airflow. I know each mfg. has their own claims, but I would like to see them compared together.

Also, any experiences y'all have would be appreciated. I know everyone has "the best" on their truck, but I would like to know WHY you think it is better than the others.

Thanks.....Steve

If I recall, the CFM won the test with the GDP in 2nd, but the GDP was considerably cheaper. I got the GDP on mine. As of now, I've dyno'd with the mods below 456 HP/812 TQ

This was posted for me on another site. This is exactly what I was looking for, but would like to see similar charts for the GDP and S&B.

Big Horn 06...Do you have any numbers about the HP gain in the 1900 RPM range? That is where I do a lot of my towing..in the 1900-2100RPM range.

Thanks

No I don't, looks like he started the dyno reading at about 2200 according to my sheet.

I like my CFM+ but I had a cheapo beforehand and there's not that much of a difference between the two. +160 ft/lbs at 1900 rpm seems insane. I really need to get my truck back on a dyno as I did 386hp with just the smarty jr and really want to see the torque curve now.
