It definitely improved throttle response and power per my G-Tech RR runs. 3 runs stock to get my baseline, then 3 runs with the Volant.

I can't speak for the 21 hp gain because that's measured on an engine stand and taken at the flywheel under ideal conditions; and probably at sea level. But my G-Tech registered 8 additional hp where the wheels meet the road. And that's REAL WORLD hp including wind resistance, road defects and a 4,500 foot altitude.

This isn't even accounted for on a dyno since the body of the vehicle isn't moving, and the wheels are in contact with a smooth steel roller rather than concrete or asphalt which offers greater resistance.

Road hp is the only number I'm ever concerned with, as I don't race many people on an engine stand or with my truck strapped down to a dyno.

My volant cai is on order, I can't wait to get her installed. I will post some pics when I do. This will be my first mod for the Tundra, I might do the black out headlight mod next.

I have a Volant CAI. Low RPM pull was close to stock, but mid and top RPM power has an increase. I didn't go to the track to test before and after. But I did go on a marked off stretch of road and tried it before 2 times and after more than 2 times. The first thing I could tell is it shift faster from one gear to the next. Top speed was 3mph faster. Gas milage, I can't tell because of the new found fun with the sound comming from under the hood. Any body puts one of these on, you will never take it off. The engine sound like it means business. And I'am talking with stock Exhaust! I'am reading lots of post trying to figure out what Exhaust to install. I'am not in a hurry right now. Believe me, normal driving, the engine sounds stock, but when you step on it, there is a Loud sound that comes from the front of my truck like a beast of a BIG muscle car. And my co-workers said when i step on the gas that truck is loud and mean from outside.

I though I was looking under the hood of my truck until I noticed Black instead of Nautical Blue. Great looking truck under the hood and outside. Pic.to come when it stops raining.
