Been 4 months since, and not one code or hiccup. This makes me very pleased with the guys a Psi-Fi. Car runs incredible!
Since then I was told to come back down, because Ray@revitup suggested a new wiring method/tune or something. THIS is the wiring schematic that was used in the mass market release of the kit, and supposedly has cured ALL codes for redline users.
I've yet to get this wiring switch/tune(not sure), but my car seems to have taken to it well anyway. I also recall them saying they got a few more degrees timing out of it, resulting in a little more power. I really gotta get my ass down there!

I totally understand what you mean, its just a pipe with a filter. If the two intakes had the same exact pipe diameter, and one claimed to have much higher numbers, I too would question it.
So if there is a difference, (I know the F5's strong). It would have to be because Fujita went with larger pipe, more air, more power. I'm thinking with my 2.8" pulley, the blower is really spinning making lots o' heat. Now with the Fujita, intake temps have prob dropped resulting in this AWAKENING I've felt.
...Just a guess

I have the K&N intake and if it just hooks to the same thorttle body then I can't see much more of a difference even if the pipe is bigger the thorttle body is the same size. Now if the piping was bigger & the throttle body was bigger say by 10mm then yes I can see where gains can be made.

Proof of gains can be found on the track:
ninja44 with the Fujita could not beat my time all day of 14.64 but finally got a 14.52 in the afternoon. I am bone stock and I think the only reason I was faster at the beginning was becuase of my better grip which I attribute to the LSD. So we proved two things yesterday at the track: 1. Fujita is for real 2. LSD is for real !!!!

I can't say for sure whether the diff worked or not as it is not my car but Ang was getting traction from somewhere, I had wheelspin going into second. As for the Fujita intake well, I have not seen a stock SS/SC with only a CAI trap at consistenly 100 mph. I had a best trap speed of 96 in the middle of summer so Ang was hitting about 98 mph so the extra 2 mph possibly came from the intake. Any way you look at it my car still pulls a stock SS in third gear. I mean I trapped faster than a 05 Mustang GT with Flowmaster cat backs and no matter how much your ET's differ the MPH remain consistent and tell you how much power you are making.
