The problem with intake comparisons is that they all act differently with each engine combination.
As per Cliffs car and Jim Hands wagon, both may respond different as they are different weights,builds etc.
Wont engine cam, head flow, carb, exhaust, transmission, stall, gears, tires, weight, etc all play into what intake works the best?
So if Cliff bolts this intake up and it performs better than his modified stock intake, what does it show the rest of us. It will show his car likes it better, but our cars it may not. The only way to find out which intake is best for your combo would be to do the same comparison. Thats why there are so many different people with different combos running so good. Some will run the same times with big torque engines with low RPMs as small high RPM engines but I guarantee the engines will perform differently if they swapped intakes etc. I guess my point is, dont just take someone elses results like they are written in stone.
