*First 2 tests were with stock inlet system. All other tests with 4” Kenne Bell Bazooka Dyno Tube (no filter) using dyno room air. SAE corrected. A big oval throttle body was also used to negate any HP losses from inlet restriction at high rpm. Throttle body made “0” HP gain up to 450HP.
"Hey, let's use the stock intake for the Eaton runs, then slap a 4 inch bellmouth tube right in front of the dyno fan with no filter for the KB test".
APPLES TO APPLES YOU BAST!RDS!!!

The third test establishes the Eaton baseline.
Also, the fact that KB shaded the first two tests, as well as put an * after the HP number, is a clear sign that they consider them to be somewhat non-representative.
My problem is that Jim Bell keeps telling us not to use open filters, but does not offer an alternative.

One could use the "volant" CAI... it is a sealed unit with a conical filter.
Hmmm If I'm at ~450/550 I wonder what I'd gain by slapping this monster on?
Now THE question is this:
DO A SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON WITH THE WHIPPLEAND WHAT WOULD THE RESULTS BE?

btw... that "exclusive" valet mode... my truck with the stock eaton had a valet mode using the stock bypass valve. All it took was some tune changes with my SCT chip.

• Whisper quiet. No embarrassing gear noise.
• Internally lubricated. No tapping holes in oil pan. Doesn’t use - and heat up - engine oil.
• Oversize bearings and shafts.
• 4 minute easy pulley changes.
• No “boost drop off” at higher rpm.
• Does not depend on engine rpm to generate boost.
• Lower gears not necessary.
• 60°-80° cooler air charge temp and requires less HP to drive than Eaton.
• Billet bypass valve.
• Available in black satin or polished.
does that mean no sweet supercharger whine.

According to KB's data it appears at 15psi the 2.6 made much the same hp/tq as the 2.3. This leads me to believe the 2.6's full potential won't be realized until higher boost levels are run.
Run all three at the same given boost levels - 10, 12, 14psi etc. The results could have been more useful for the average customer. Running the same size pulley on all doesn't help me in deciding what is best for my application.
