Default Got a call from AEM today about my truck on the dyno

well i was going to get my truck back from AEM this morning but a few issues came up

1. they said that for some reason the new intake made a lot more HP in the morning but later in the afternoon the gains were gone. so they are going to do so temp test

2. they also said my XDI actually made the truck lose HP.

3. they say the CAI they created created a lot more hp

I dont get off work until late tonight so i will have to pick the truck up am on monday morning... when i do i will get the dyno results printed out i will show tit in detail

1. Maybe the cold engine makes less power?

2. That sucks!

3. Can't wait to see the results.

That almost sounds like what any typical company is going to tell you when are using a product besides theirs.

Yeah it's gonna be hard to take their word for it. Also the engine will make better gains in the morning with the temps being lower. Colder Air/More HP.... hence cold air intake.
