Easiest is probably to upload it to Youtube then link it here.

Excited to hear it! How do you like the Arlen Ness intake?

Ok so first results are pretty impressive in my opinion.

2019 RGS 114”
factory headpipe decatted and crossover blocked
tab performance 4.5” bam with 2.5” louvered baffle
arlen ness velocity 65 air cleaner
zippers red shift 468 cam
s and s adjustable pushrods
direct link tuner


peak torque at 129lbs
peak horsepower at 109

i think the exhaust is holding back the HP a little so will be very interesting to see what the jackpot rtx does. We are going to do pulls with both setups next time on same day so we have a more accurate comparison.

I don’t think so. Mark doesn’t like to put smoothing into his curves as he says he learns a lot by size and shape of the little dips and peaks. He claims all have them, but graph smoothing is in place when you don’t see them on a graph. Also, he uses a dyno dynamics vs a dynojet so that could bat play as well. Not sure if that was what you are referring to or not.

I'm in for the compare of the two systems. I have a spare head pipe on the shelf waiting for your results.
