Can you please explain in short, what did you want to say? Only that you're surprised? There's nothing extraordinary about that if you think about it for a couple of seconds

After rereading pressure sensor scale I learned that pressure drop was almost 7psi actually. So this IC is a total cork in my intake. Will not torture my TransAm with this IC anymore, better IC has to be found until spring.

Just to let you know... I've got new 4.5" Ebay intercooler, pressure drop is much less now and power is much higher
