I have been playing with my new obd cable with my laptop. I've been trying to get some base information on the stock engine. Like what the air temp is with the stock and what the air flow is.
So I hooked up my new MAC short intake and drove the car for 15 minutes. I've heard that the engine will pull hotter air than the stock intake and the shorties are only good for the sound.
As far as I am concerned the shorty performs better than stock intake in every way. I get readings that tell me that on average the engine pulls air 2 degrees cooler and pulls 1.lb more per minute. It's not a dyno and the power gained probably will not show up on a dyno but I have to say that CAI really aren't worth their price. This is my own unscientific test and my opinion. I post this for all to think about.
Peace
