Dads63-I also suspect that the RTech box will give better readings from the MAF. If you notice on the Carbonio, the way they have the air inlet tube opened up under the MAF may not give accurate readings (speculation on my part). If you look at the OEM intake funnel/tract, the air tube surrounds the MAF unlike the Carbonio, the additional air flow does not completely flow through the MAF but rather underneath it. The R-Tech unit has the MAFs relocated further downstream. I am having a hard time describing the difference but I hope you get the gist of it. Th R-Tech box would nicely complement your MHP heads.

I suspect you could duplicate the results of the Carbonio (again speculative) if you cut off the flat section of our North American air inlet tubes to duplicate the enlarged opening of the Carbonio. Of course, the obvious difference with the Carbonio is the slighltly increased box top volume.

I wished someone in China would replicate the R-Tech in plastic.
