After about 20 or 25 mph air starts to follow the curve of the hood and no longer enters the scoops creating a low pressure area. Air then only enters through the front bumper grills and the crack where the hoods meets the bumper.

I personally feel the biggest improvement is in the iat sensor that is recommended to upgrade to when purchasing the svede intake. It changes temps quicker and reacts faster. I'd be willing to bet when iat's are compared between the vararam and svede using this sensor there is not any difference that results in performance gains or losses.

I'll post test results if I ever get a svede intake that I ordered over a month ago now. I got my tuner on board to help. We will test in real world and at an 1/8 th mile drag strip.
