From another forum I was provided some info I never considered with the AFE vs stock box. It is true that the AFE or any duel cone set up will see 40-50 deg higher intake temp, however, the overall pressure of the system is reduced creating a more efficent/less restrictive breathing engine.
Others have posted the same IAT post intercooler (stock box vs duel cone)...so this does make sense.
I think there are many variables with the dyno's, but I think in the real world people are "feeling" better power with the AFE...... I'm not going to give up on the AFE intake just yet
