Yeah Curzon said i should see the 210g/s to 225 g/s so make it around the 280bhp and 299bhp mark...

But then again its estimates...Im happy ive found my restriction tho...just need to get it all on the car nad log it..

I could be barking up the wrong tree here, but g/s is read by the maf so how is a larger TIP going to increase your g/s when the maf is installed before the TIP? The filter may give you abit but not that much.

How restrictive if the standard TIP, when you put a Forge TIP on you get a better g/s straight away, so in theory Danny's 3" TIP should work better as its allowing more air to pass past the MAF
Shockingly i agree with Danny on this one :blink:

But the MAF is before the TIP, so the air will be read by the MAF and then down into the TIP.

Ive read and proven myself you gain more g/s with better filters but dont think ive ever seen anything about g/s being incresed by a larger TIP?

But the TIP is still allowing more air in

Think about it like this. If you had a small straw in a drink and sucked at the straw, you will get a small amount of drink through, but if you put a bigger straw in the same drink and suck at the same rate your gunna get more drink as the straw allows more to come through

Best way i can think to explain it

Yeh i understand your logic but i also get were Danny's coming from. It should increase his g/s through the same principle of a standard TIP to a Forge one, but obviously the logs will show us by how much. I personally think it should get miles better as his filter was too restrictive to start with and making the TIP bigger should just finish it off nicely :D
