"Racer" or "Street" C&L CAI
I'm finally getting around to putting a CAI on my 05 GT and I've narrowed it down to a C&L + SCT XCal 2 Tuner package from Brenspeed. However, maybe you can help me out from here...
The new plastic 95MM "Racer" version is $75 cheaper than the older metal 83MM "Street" version. If looks don't matter to me, is there any reason to pay more for the metal "Street" version? The "Racer" version says it for higher performance vehicles (i.e. supercharged, nitrous, etc.). But will there be any draw back to getting the less expensive 95MM "Racer" version versus the 83MM "Street" version. I realize there may be not more gains by going to the "Racer" version for me (as I won't be putting a supercharger or nitrous in), but I just want to make sure its not going to loose power because of it. All comments and help are greatly appreciated. Thanks, J |

I say go with the cheaper one. After you tune it, they will both act identical. $75 is a lot to spend on looks under the hood.

I don't know but I would think the Street would hold heat more so the racer should perform better. Anyone know if this is true?

Street .. unless you are going to get a S/C one day...!!!
then you will need the racer .. going thru it now... ( have street , bought S/C..now need racer ) JMO Rex |

Okay, just so I understand you guys right, I should go with the Street even though it's more $? Is there any drawback to just getting the Racer now? Will the increased size of the Racer be of any negative effect to a non-S/C setup?
