the point is whats the MOST you could hope to gain with YOUR CAI over stock??? now how much would you lose making it short ram.. now is that worth sucking up a puddle? maybe to you it is.. but to me.. 3 hp.. OR 5 ft lbs of torque.. is NOT
Nitrous might be cold to the touch but thats not what makes it work. As it burns it creates O2 at which makes a hotter fire. More power. A 12.5 increase in torque on my little 1.5 is not much, but i use it for autox. In the powerband that i have and the altitude i'm at, it works for me. Was not saying its huge or anything like that, but thats my benifit. :thumbup:
