I'd like to know too.

Mine was done with the GP. I think I got it back some time during the 2nd week in Jan.

Sal, I appreciate the data and know that you have tested more Lightnings than I have even seen, but why not take the time to dyno a stock Eaton side-by-side (same truck, same dyno, same day, fully warmed-up engine)? That is the only scientifically valid comparison.

If I were a vendor, I would not publish anything else.

But then again, I am a confirmed skeptic. It's an ugly job, but somebody's gotta do it.

Thanks for posting what you have, though.

Tim, I wanted to do that comparision, and will do it in the future. Unfortunately, I had no stock Eaton on hand to use. Even my own stock blower from our 01 was sent to Apten for porting, to use on our Project Thundersnake. I will be doing that test in the future.

So, your response is:

""Stock'?What do you mean 'stock'? Oh, yeah, I saw a stock a couple of years ago, but we corrected that problem immediately."

I would have expected Apten to have already done this. Although I haven't seen them advertise that it effects air charge temps at all.

When Apten 1st announced their results on a lightning on NLOC that was my 1st question. I never got a response. I was assuming that their was no significant fall in the temperature, because if their was that would be a great selling point.

With my own truck I have noticed the IAT-2 to be always within 30-40 degrees of the IAT-1 with short 5 second WOT blasts, I have never data logged before the A.P.E.
