You be the judge.
YMMV.
I ran a best 14.5 stock.....
When I dropped a K&N Panel in, I stayed at 14.5
When I installed a Cone (open cone)still only a 14.5
When I installed a CAI box I got a 14.4.....
The numbers you show (I think) are a fluke, It's hard to believe that you could get 3 tenths better out of a cone vs. the "no filter"
I love the cone vs. panel. It certainly seems to let the sound of the SC out of the hood better than the panel did.
