nah, it'd make it worse, as the engine is now sucking in warm air from the engine bay, AND there is nolonger the air dam effect that the stock air intake got... lol
oh well.

This is an old thread but I missed the above response. DBB is incorrect. Anyone that has followed my posting knows that I have always stated the importance of avoiding hot underhood air. My modification isolates the airbox from underhood and provides cooler air in larger quantities than the stock design. It also does NOT remove the stock air dam of the stock system.
Track tested back to back multiple runs showed 1/2 mph gain in the quarter mile. This would indicate 5rwhp. It also increases the sound of the engine.
I'm not incorrect.
any performance increase is nothing more than coincidence.
if you think the car FEELS faster, its simply because there is more induction noise, and its playing tricks on you.
why exactly do you think it will gain power? when its sucking in warm air from the engine bay now?
the stock intake had as much potential air flow as the NA engine would need, it was also nice, cool air...
so, how is it that you expect your modification to have made any difference?
Are you just TRYING to be argumentative?
Try READING what I posted. I have addressed EACH of your points.
This mod demonstrated consistent back to back improvement in actual 1/4 mile performance.
This mod has both COOLER air and LESS pressure drop to the filter.

I've read it, and I dont actually believe it, you haven't actually given any proof, you've just said it was slightly faster down the 1/4 mile.
that proves nothing, where's the dyno readouts? multiple dyno readouts, all done on the same day of course.
with and without the mod.
otherwise your so called improvements are nothing more than talk.

lol, ok, we'll just disagree, Im happy with that. haha
I still haven't had an explanation as to how you think cold air is getting to the air filter when its sucking hot air in from the engine bay, haha.
but hey, as long as its faster in your mind thats all that matters :?
so, in reality, its not going to make any difference? haha
still waiting for some actual proof btw, not just typed words, which mean nothing.
jbrady - dont take any notice of death by bass.... he is a troublemaker on a number of forums and has been banned from a few as well...he's just a pimple faced teen who thinks he's god.
