Straight from the Compass Webpage..........


We managed to get the car to the Dynomometer this weekend. That was really a neat experience. The intake performed flawlessly, in front of a large group of on lookers we ran a baseline run and then the a run with the new intake. WOW... The baseline run was completed using the stock air filter box minus the tubing that runs from the fender to the box. Instead we had an elbow attached to the inlet of the filter box. The only other modifications to the car are a MagnaFlow muffler and Denso Iridium spark plugs. Then for the second run we disconnected that filter box and connected our intake system.
Less than five minutes later we had pulled the second run and were so very happy with the results. Our design really works, and works well. The baseline run showed a peak Horsepower of 170.8HP @ 5500rpm and a peak Torque of 183.4ft/lbs @ 3750rpm. The second run showed a very nice improvement in both horsepower and torque, with peak horsepower up to 185.4HP @ 5500rpm and peak torque up to 196.3ft/lbs @ 3750rpm. Total gains were tallied at 14.6HP and 12.9ft/lbs of torque. One other thing that is not mentioned but very evident is a spike in torque around 2700 to 2800rpm. This can be seen on the charts.
Nearly 15ft/lbs or more of torque was gained in this rpm range. Building the production units will begin as soon as we can get the raw materials to do so. We are very excited about the gains that we have made with this design and look forward to getting them out to the public.................


Pretty soon folks. I'm damn excited to spend 275 bones!!!!
