...remember you're only flowing as much air as your smallest point
Not COMPLETELY true.... Along with the sice of the smallest orifice, you also have to take into consideration the velocity of the air. My DenseCharger uses that to make a difference even with my stock TB...
It is true. Say your supercharger is making 9 psi. Its going to make 9 pounds per square inch if you have a stock 65 mm tb or an aftermarket 75 mm throttle body. It will always have 9 psi its just with the 75 mm you have more space to deliver that 9 psi in there for you're getting more air. Its like if you take the donuts off our cars and take a 325/40/r17 and fill them both to 35 psi. They'll both be at 35 psi but which one has more air? Exactly.

A CAI makes for nice BLING under the hood. But like someone said if you're not running a bigger TB also, your really not gonna notice any more hp improvement than if you just stuck a K&N air filter into your factory intake. Save your money for real/better mods.

I think underdrive pullies will get you more power than a CAI, but they don't add much BLING under the hood

YAY!! I got pullies lol, i know they dont do much but i picked them over a CAI.

im probably just going to hold off on the CAI cuz id like to geta s/c in the not so distant future. but does that mean i should hold off on u/d pullies as well and just wait til i get the blower? cuz right now i just dont want a stock gt any longer.. i hate it. my slp lm1's and o/r prochamber are waiting in my room until my back bumper gets fixed (hit and run). 4.10's are a definate but thats gonna wait a lil bit cuz i wanna get the tuner/gear combo thing from american muscle. which brings me to another question.. suspension.. i know nothing about it buti want a drop to make the car look nice but at the same time handle better and what not. whatare some good suspension kits that i could look into? what all would i need to replace??

it would only make sense to not change your intake and pullies if you plan on getting a blower soon. Even though you want to mod the car now, it'll just be a waste of money...
