No stinkin EVO or WRX STI is taking me out of the hole. I can tell you that for sure. Did you do a tune when you installed your AEM Brute Force CAI? I ask that question because you mention you want an SCT tune in the future. If you did not do a tune with the CAI your car won't run right.

AEM's don't need a tune. MAF size in them is unchanged, which is what causes most CAI's to need a tune.

If you want power, toss the AEM and go with a Steeda CAI, SCT tune, underdrive pulleys and plates(IMRC delete), throwin aset of 4.10's and LCA's and just sit back and wait for the next turbo charged rice burner to pull up.This is what I have done.Nothing beats cubic inches when it comes totorque. Check out the attached graph.
