Default which CAI works with Saleen blower?

Looks like Brenspeed uses the Steeda? Will the C&L work with the saleen blower?

I'm using Saleen's inlet tube w/ Lightning 90mm maf.

Not sure but might have clearance issues with C&Lif not also usinglowering motor mounts - check w/ Brenspeed, JDM, etc.

The Steeda one works, but same thing - Brenspeed said that you can't use the Steeda inlet tube unless you use the lowering motor mounts. So I'm planning to use the Steeda cone/box/MAF, and then the stock inlet tube (their recommendation).

I've seen the C&L Racer, the Steeda minus the inlet elbow, and the WMS used. JDM has their own as well.

I am using the steeda CAI and factory inlet tube, the C&L or the steeda inlets don't work, clearance problems.

That's funny, because I have a C&L inlet tube on mine. The big plastic racing one. I had to use the engine lowering mounts and it still rubs the liner of the hood, but it fits.

does lowering the engine help the handling? wouldn't it lower your center of gravity.

Brent from Brenspeed told me the C&L wont fit and today JimIII from JDM told me it would![sm=helpout.gif]

So here's another opinion for you: Dave (Brenspeed) said it might fit (w/o the lowering mounts) but the canned tune would need to be adjusted. Easier to just put the Steeda end on the stock inlet tube.
