I'm sorry, but I'm just not going to commit time and money to modifying my truck based on some guy's speculation and "butt-dyno"! If all this forum can offer is speculation, well, it isn't offering very much, is it? We can all speculate all day long, and it won't help anyone know if a mod is beneficial or not, or which mods are the best. And butt-dyno reports are so worthless, you're often better off doing the opposite of what they're recommending! Do you realize how many people swear that their vehicle "has more pull" after installing a dual-exhaust with 3" pipes - when dyno tests have conclusively proven that this configuration actually *reduces* low-end torque? But it *sounds* better, plus it cost a bunch of money, so they *want* to believe they "have more pull". A butt-dyno report is totally, totally worthless.
You're right that dyno testing is complicated, time-consuming, and expensive - but how else are we to accurately evaluate performance mods? It's pointless do discuss performance mods without an accurate means of measuring.
