Help, I lost a ton of acceleration when i put my CAI on!

correct me if im wrong but i dont see why you would lose horsepower from an intake.. it should let the air flow better because of the smoother intake pipe at the least.. i mean i wouldnt put an aem intake on my car but i dont see how he would lose power... i think something is wrong here.. i gained 12whp just from a K&N cone and the heat shield.

i made 12whp on a chassis dyno at school from a K&N FIPK with the heatshield. i dont know how the intake tubing would hurt the power either, except maybe those extra bends into the fenderwell kill all the power.. the printer at school was really crappy but ill try to upload pics for you guys to show you im not making it up..

Do you have back-to-back dyno charts for that 12 HP gain? I'd like to see 'em...

An after market intake would only "let the air flow better" if the OEM intake were somehow inadequate--thing is that it isn't, in fact the Mustang OEM intake is a popular performance mod for Crown Vics...

it actually makes perfect sense (to me), less restriction in the intake= more air+more fuel= more power. im not claiming to know a whole lot but thats my reasoning behind my post. how would it hurt power?

thanks for all the help guys lots of input from both sides here turns out that the screen worked either that or i fixed a leak when retighting the clamps either way the power is back and maybe with a little more it feels quicker to respond now even if it has similar power. So i guess it was worth it. Thanks again to all who posted
