Brenspeed says they will give you an extra 45 HP plus it will shift better etc..

Judging from your sig it looks like you have already decided, good choice.
I see people saying things like bang for the buck, but have they done the math, even if a CAI only gets 10HP for $250, that is $25 per HP, now if you get a blower for say $8,000 including install and get oh lets just say 235HP, that works out to about $34 per HP, so as you did get what makes you happy, and that you can afford, and party on.

Actually I was going to get it and put it in my signature, but then I started reading about the #8 cylinder issue and I am starting to think I might not. I need more information on the issue.

Only reason I asked about the CAI is in Virginia here we have to remove it every time we get an emissions done or I will fail. I also read that a drop in K&N oil filter and tune will pretty much get me close to the same results.
