This has definitely been proven. And no I'm not really arguing that Needswings isn't a good product, heck I wouldn't mind owning one either. All my cars I've owned all through the years have had short rams and CAI's, and my cars seem to launch harder with the short rams. "Short Ram=quicker response". I've at least proven this to myself no matter what anyone else says. Have any of you that use the Needswings tried removing the part that goes to the front and put the filter in the engine bay area and run down the strip a few times? Do a few runs both ways on the same day and let us know if there is truly a difference at the track. I know I get better 60' times with a short ram because I've tested them already. Give it a try, it wouldn't hurt and you have nothing to lose. It's actually fun going back and forth while sitting and waiting for your next turn to race.

I tried a very nicely built dual air intake by BDJ Racing my first go round. I have attached a pic from 240M3SRT6’s thread as we had the same intake. It looked sick, and posted the same gains on the Dyno as the Needswings, but we felt we were getting hurt at the track by sucking in hot air only. The filter sucking in cool air in front of the radiator is the key. If we had a giant intercooler like a turbo motor does, I think air filters in the engine compartment could work. Getting the air from out front is the best! All of the fastest SRT6 are running a Needswings, that was all the proof I needed to sell my old intake and buy one from Rob. The Code 3 is a different animal. It is a shame no one has taken this and done a back to back dyno run. If I only had a pair of K& N filters to put in my stock set up….Hummmmmm
