pure power filters

Anyone heard or tried these? They say you will gain HP and torque and is reusable...

If I got more HP and TQ from every gimmick that says they give it, My EVO would make 200hp by now because I would have bought them all.
Looks like a pain to me and let's see, $200 divided by $10 for a regular filter is 20. 20x5000 is 100,000 miles. Yea that will pay for itself for most everybody.

Have to clean a stainless steel mesh at ever oil change, I do not like cleaning my air filter, and it is not even near that messy.

Sorry, I give it a Thumbs Down.

Tire biter or something like that on the Very Tough Forknuts.

I ask the same question over at V-Twin a while back...

...never did get the question I actually asked answered.

He claimed 4 HP and it started a brawl. If you change to their "special" oil also, they claim 9 HP. I'll stick to good synthetic and quality filter.

Thing is, he took offense at Grock calling it snake oil, and basically called him clueless. Grock has probably forgotten more about engines and performance than I or most members of VTF will ever know. Rather than simply asking why his dyno showed an increase, tiremuncher went on the attack. In doing so, instead of getting some good info from an expert, it became the usual bashing contest that all the experts avoid now.

In the end, we all lose out on some good analysis of what was really happening. Sad.........

The thread seems to echo the "usual" course of events upstairs. Facts only complicate a good fight.

As far as the merit of the filter, I guess it boils down to, does the backpressure of the stock filter rob 4-9 HP through energy expended in pumping pressure, before the bypass spring cuts in. Do you trust the filter to work as well as the stock filter. And are you willing to pay/put up with cleaning, the new filter.

I personally feel I can do better investing in other areas, but I think what is really going on is someone feeling offended that anyone would doubt his word. As with many other threads, reason has left the building, and it becomes a contest of ego. I have found myself "caught up" in such fights upstairs, and came here because it is a different demeanor, and I find it easier to "control myself."

This is my latest contribution to the subject:

It is within a few hours of being 1 week since my first query to Pure Power.

Despite my sending this to them this morning at 8:15am pacific time, there is still no reply from Pure Power.

I am beginning to form a negative opinion of the company, and would be wary of their claims and products.

As of 5:20pm pacific time 6-15-07 there is no reply from Pure Power.

and won't be

I run three parallel and their oil. 25 extra ponies. Saved me $2,000 in engine upgrades and I threw the Cialis prescription away.

Since it has been 2 weeks and PP has not replied to my queries, I'm gona go out on a limb here and say that they are shysters selling snake oil.

Never called it "snakeoil" or anything else. With the little experience ( )I have, I just know that you can't gain those numbers from a freer flowing filter and oil change (new to new). I actually did test the PP filter against a new stocker on two bikes. Gained 1 HP and 1.1 TQ with same oil with the PP filter on a 95 with cam and heads. There were claims that the PP oil change REALLY made the difference so we did it with their oil also. From one run to the next, going from Amsoil to PP oil we lost a minimal amount of power, probably due to variance in the conditions so don't think the oil is going to rob you of power. But certainly no gain in many runs that we did.

We simply could not re-create the gains that were being claimed (not surprised). We'll stick to our recommendation for Amsoil lubes and a good filter (the new Amsoil filters seem good quality filter media).

All the best,
