- In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
I haven’t figured out how to get fuel trims from the obd1 test plug.Correct me if I'm wrong, But in theory you would be able to tell if it flows better by looking at the fuel trim numbers. If the new intake actually flowed better then the engine would lean out and you'd see the fuel trim numbers raise ever so slightly to compensate.
But even if you did put a "less restrictive " intake on that doesn't mean the old one was "too restrictive". If the stock intake can flow 120% of the air the engine can take in and the aftermarket intake can flow 200% of the air the engine can take it... there is no gain.
