the only problem i had was that it was only an increase of 4-5 rwhp and that was after the car sat for an hour.. shit anyone will get that type of increase when the engine cooled down. there are no engine mods that will require more air so it is kinda useless. and well also you have to look at the fact it is on a dyno. i mean there is nothing that would change the flow of air. If you add in the moving car might cool the fender that the induction kit is located in and give you in essence colder air.. i would still say go with the ram air kits they have. but then you are not going to tell on a dyno the gains.

cooler motors (especially EFI) definitely make more power.

btw, how has this "blown up" ? all I see is disagreement. What we have to agree on everything? [patriot]

I posted the article on streetracing.org boards and got a pretty negative response - most people seem to not want to accept that CAI really does nearly nothing to performance, yet the average streetracing.org member knows nothing about cars really..

He he well there are a few people on there who know their shit, those people seem to agree with it for the most part. The rest of the people either don't know jack shit and fall for it, or know a decent amount and seem to be standing up for CAI just because they already payed for it.

Ok, the Moroso intake, I don't think as a real good test CAI system comparing to a stock with K&N. I think a full intake where the tube goes to TB gives a real gain comparing to either one of the systems tested. And the test was comparing very like systems, that why there is no real gain. But the stock intake with paper filter vs. a CAI. There would be a noticable gain. Just my $.02 [Smile]
