I am confused. As far as I can tell, the C & L "Street" CAI unit is cast aluminum and flows slightly less airthan the "Race" unit which is plastic/rubber. Anybody aware of any other differences?
Also, are the performance benefits equal with both units when used withthe same tune for a 4.6L with no other mods?
Thanks.

i think one has like a nitrous bung or something?

I went with the racer because I am considering a cam swap in the future. C&L racer with a 93 octane Breenspeed tune is this best money I have spent. Its like night and day, really woke the car up. Changed it from a mild mannered car to something that is really fun to drive. If I wasnt considering the cam swap I would have gone with the street.

Thanks ski. It did help although there was no mention of the nitrous bung or something.

Thestreet being metal allows them to offer a tap for a nitrous nozel.
The racer comes withthe larger MAF, but isa little more difficult to tune the fuel table for it.

If you have any intention of running nitrous, run the aluminum elbow...the occasional nitrous backfire will shred the plastic one.

OK. Got it now. Since mine is a daily driver and I don't want to put it through the stresses of frequent track runs, nitrous is not in the future. But is there an S/C in the future?? Who knows? C'mon Lottery, be kind to papa.
