I listen to diesels with a lot more power than anyone has in their trucks all day. To be honest I enjoy the quiet of the 03 trucks and so that left the scotty well down on my list even though it sounds like a good product. I dont see a whole lot of difference between the BD product or most of the other ones and I am only going to be running my truck up to about 400 hp. That means for me egts are not going to be a huge issue and that one or another might get me a few more ponies doesnt matter either. Since all I needed from mine was to let the truck breath I picked mostly on secondary points. I like the polished look, I like the service BD gives and their reputation. Certainly some of the others (Diesel Dynamics etc) enjoy good reputations themselves and Im not picking on any other vendors quality.

Steve, You know I'm a die heart Scotty Fan. I don't think the Scotty in and of its self make any more power, but it does allow you to stay in the power longer w/o the pistons melting I do believe that the stock housing even with the the hood scoop is a restriction. It doesn't matter how the air is forced in, it will only flow as much as the filter will allow. I am thinking that even on of these big cone filter isn't enough for all the HP you are making. I say lets build a tee set up and put two RE-0880 filter on there and then build a heat shield to keep the engine heat away...

Nate..Are you suppose to have a filter??? : :, The answer is no. ;D ;D
I'm just looking to pull, maybe a little more, even one little HP. Someone, sell me on a new system!!!
Keeping this all together, on two different web sites is hard, so for those, who want can get some other opinions here:

HeberRam,
I have just started doing tests with the scotty 2.
Made a nice 85 mph blast today while the laptop recorded the IAT. There was only a 7.2 degree change from 0 to 30 psi boost. This was with the scotty II in hush mode. I will reinstall the OEM airbox and filter and test it the same way.
At this point I would have to say that the Scotty 2 does what they claim.

If you had a 5" intake hose I'd let you try mine at MM. ;D
