These too look great dave!

You should look up the definition of the word 'hate'.
Challenging someone on their product's performance figures is NOT hate.
Disagreeing with someone is NOT hate.
Buschur has the right to produce the product and list its performance improvements and others have the right to challenge those figures.

Challenging figures when documentation has been provided just shows the ignorance of the one challenging. Dave has been very open and forthcoming with his testing procedures, dyno graphs, afr graphs… for people to claim the results are fake is ridiculous. What more do people want?

I'd like to see the results of two 0-60 or 1/4 mile runs with the stock and aftermarket air intakes.
Since the swap only takes 5 minutes it should be very easy to make the two runs back-to-back.

When looking at the power curve graph, it would be a lot more useful to see power@RPM's not speed.

@Buschur how late in the season is Norwalk open? Can we get some passes the first week of December?

edit: or maybe dragway 42? After I get my truck, I’d be happy to come along and witness/verify/ provide a second truck to test trap speeds on.

Would be nice to get a video of sound from the interior while out running some errands and putting the intake+turbo thru its paces to gauge sound levels/tone of the intake -

Super simple, if you don't think his product will do what he claims, don't buy it. Or, take him up on his challenge.

Any plans to make a heat shield for this intake?

If I asked "Why the love?", would you suggest I look up the definition of love?

In the context of my post "why the hate" is appropriate.

I see you are from BC, perhaps there is a cultural difference between Canadian and American English.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt.

Isn't the main reason why someone would buy this intake is to increase the performance?

Why the laughing tears to my speed run suggestion?
To me hp numbers on a graph are all well and good, but the real measure of a product's performance gain will be on-the-road-performance.

To be clear, I'm not doubting the hp gains, but I'd be very interested in how those gains improve the truck's performance on the road.

Laughing tears are because, in northern Ohio, drag racing in December is, uh, risky, with snow and all…

I’m with you though! A trap speed increase will prove a power increase!

Personally I like quarter mile results, the issue is, depending on conditions, the times could be all over the place.

Buscher is here to market products. He is going to shoe you where it made the best gains, because thats the wow factor. I'm 100% indifferent with him, be ause I plan to make all of my own performance parts. The intake does show gains, and most people buy them more for the sound.

That being said, once tunes come out, you will want an intake to take full advantage of what you can wrong out of this engine. As well as a downpipe and exhaust. Just my opinion.

as someone who isnt mentally handicapped:

when a dyno chart shows an improvement anywhere on the chart over a previous run - the largest gain is the HP gain. is it the same as an average gain - no - but its not abnormal to mention the peak gain as the improvement.

also dynos happen in higher gears around 3-4th gear - so this is also normal.

the only thing i would question butcher on is - will it show this gain after driving it around for 30-40 miles and the ECU relearning. will it then hop back on the dyno and show the same improvement?

otherwise arguing that a dyno chart showing a 27hp improvement isnt a 27hp improvement - well dont know how to tell you about being a special little buddy.

Mine was trying to figure out why some data points were taken at different rpm's. If you are going to put data up you would want to get rid of all the variables. I wasn't there but when I see things like this it makes me leary. Again it would be nice to see independent test data points which I am sure won't be long.

You do realize every single car manufacturer advertises their horsepower numbers at a single data point right? Your 250hp Maverick is 250hp peak at one particular point in the RPM range on an engine dyno with no transmission, drive shafts, differentials, brakes, axles, wheels or tires to sap the power. Which is why your 250hp Maverick is making at most 200hp to the road...

Dunno why some people in this thread are giving Buschur such a hard time. Just look at how restrictive the stock intake setup is! The setup that he's fabricated is not dissimilar to the K & N setup I had on my previous truck (Nissan Frontier)... minus the heatshield:

It's kind of hard to argue with dyno testing. Even if Buschurs hp numbers were a bit optimistic (and NOT saying they are), that's still a very impressive gain.
