CAI installed
Hey guys, got my car back from the shop the other night (harmonic balancer). So i got started on the CAI right away. I just finished it about twenty minutes ago, and took the bonnie for a test drive. First thing i noticed was how much more obvious the supercharger roar was. The next thing i noticed was how much faster i got up to 60. Oh boy do i love bonnies.
P.*. I'll try to get some pics up sometime, considering my sister lets me use her camera, mines broken. :(

awesome! Take a pic of your old air filter [just the filter], I am curious how much the filter has to do with the "seat of your pants" feel you recieve from the CAI. And, you did do the "rice pipe" setup, correct? Glad it all went well!

As a matter of comparison, when I switched to the un-shielded ADTR and cheapie cone, I made the upgrade from a modified stock setup......K&N drop in filter, and 3 holes ducted from the front of the airbox to behind the headlight and fender. A real breather.
I STILL felt the difference.

I think the fact that the stock airbox sucks so much, anything is an improvement. I would love to see a big difference in mine. That is, if I ever get my engine running good enough to put on one.

Yea, i can really tell the difference. I used the whole "rice pipe" from autozone with the K&N X-Stream drop in air filter. I'm gonna get some picks up later today of my car and the CAI, I need to give it a wash first.
