CAI IAT upgrade
OK I run that big E-1009 k&n but I wasn't totally happy with acceleration;thought I should be getting more. After reading the thresds here I decided to extend the wire on my IAT so it sits inside the filter to read colder air. Wasn't enough room to do it like you guys do it on the Xtreme k&n so i went a lil futher and relocated my IAT to the very front of the filter where the big rubber k&n logo is. I placed a hole and got a tight fit and I sealed it with hi temp red gasket maker. I then sealed the holes on the pipe with that metal filler that'* like playdough and I feel the xtra power. Am i burning more fuel now since it'* reading colder? So what if i am, i like the power

Which is why anytime my engine temps are over 200.....My car royally sucks for performance......The engine bay get'* so hot that it just soaks into everything, and the CAI turns into a HAI (Hot Air Intake)
