just to preface I know very little about tuning so be gentle if this is a stupid question! lol But do you guys notice much of a difference in the tune when you go from dyno tuning to street tuning with these front facing kits? When you're on the dyno do you try and correct for these changes that may occur while on the street or does it pretty much flow the same on the dyno as it would on the street? Just kinda curious..

it flows very similar, but a fan can only simulate wind so much. so after the huge chunks of tuning are done, emery will usually go and find the STM "private" track for a couple of pulls with some touch ups here and there. id say if anything they pull harder on the street because they can actually pull the air vs the fan on the dyno and being force fed it. but thats just my 2 cents..

Yah I figured you guys probably knew those kits enough to factor in the amount of air difference between the dyno and the street I just didn't know for sure haha. That's cool though that they're really making a bit more than they show on the dyno once you get em out on the street.
