Wow i didnt know this post would generate so much interest, i really agree that the jmb should be given a little more chance and testing. I will post pics and results of my jmb on the gs even though its a w body. I think the thread gives people a few more options though if you dont want the intense fwi.

i realize that one example of the JMB is not enough to smash the guy about.. BUT with the 3.4" pulley the OEM airbox produced less KR than the JMB then you have to be skeptical

i would put a small midigits pink pants on my engine, if that gives the optimal performance im gonna use it....and also on the other hand....just cause it looks nice, dosent mean that its the best
I have a Very strong opinion here that with the results of the test car, not many are gonna spend the money (much more than the Intense FWI) only to have possible problems with the JMB, and likewise with the Thrasher, ya they made a CAI for us, but why spend something more that dosent give the maxium gain.......dosent make $$$cents$$$ to me

IMO (backed up by lots of experience, testing, and comparison) a FWI is the #1 option, bar none for a 2k or newer Bonneville. Keep in mind that while I only recently bought the INTENSE components to create a S1 kit, I've had experience with the FWI'* in the past at meets in the heat of summer.
Go FWI.

Go FWI.
There'* no doubt in my mind I'm going FWI. In my mind, there'* 2 choices for the tubing used:
INTENSE'* "wavy" hose or
an ADTR like completely smooth wall.
For all the hype and reverence and testing that was done with the ADTR tubing, it seems that it is the better choice to use as a FWI.
FWI, definitely. But which tube to use? Are we now to assume that since the JMB tube "heat soaked", then so did the ADTR?
Or, if the ADTR tube didn't heat soak, why does the JMB tube heat soak?

To be adequately tested, a stocke vehicle has to measure KR with the box, with a CAI, with INTENSE'* intake, with JMB intake. Then the same with the 3.4" pulley with supporting mods. Then the same with a 3.2" with supporting mods. The same was done with others' FWI'*, alot more extensive.
Again I ask: If the ADTR tube didn't heat soak, why does the JMB tube heat soak?

maybe they are made of different materials or different thicknesses. question? if you have your air filter in the right location to suck in cold air, would heat soak still be an issue? I mean, the air coming though the tubing moves fast enough that heat transfer to the air would be minimal.
