Problem here is you have one huge variable: the car. The only way to get an accurate test that can illustrate the differences between an FMIC/Tune/Intake/DPs/Exhaust is to test on the same car, back to back in the same conditions on the same dyno.

Ex: If you want to test different tunes, you have to run the ones your testing on the same car with the exact same parts installed through the whole test.

So if we were going to test FMIC's, we'd have to run them on the same car, conduct the testing in the same conditions (outside temp, humidity), with the same parts (same tune settings, intake, DPs, etc.) and on the same dyno through the whole testing to yield the most accurate results possible & illustrate the impact the different FMICs had on the car.

= HUGE hassle but would be very valuable results
