I just pulled the trigger on one of these this morning[sm=happy046.gif]

Here's a lot of reading, but it's necessary to give you the full scope of what this is and the expertise that was put into it: http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showth...ght=cai+survey

And the prototype pics:

I read about this just a little while ago. Hope you got a good price. Have you decided on a specific tuner for the intake or using Ken's tune?

djmac95

Gonna use Ken's tune, as he built the intake and at this point is the most knowledgable tuner for it. Also, he usesthis CAIon his own car which is an automatic like mine, so I asked them to send me the tune he uses.

Talked with Kelly on the phone and turned on the charm, so was able to get an even better deal than they had it listedfor

Post some details on how fitment is on the install.

My CAI is bigger than yours

Will do [sm=smiley20.gif]

Yeah but mine's shinier [sm=yeahsmile.gif]

quick question, the guy who built it said that it runs cooler since aluminum dispells heat quicker, doesnt that mean that it also takes in heat quicker? it will get rid of the heat once the engine turns off quickly, but when it starts to heat up, i feel like it will be more of a conductor than an insulator heat-wise. i am interested in it, it looks like a beautiful unit, but im skeptical about that one property of it

Info I found on other site: "Doug from BamaChips did a test that showed there was no difference in intake temp vs. material once the engine was warmed up. Plastic takes a longer time to warm up, but once its at temperature there wouldn't be a difference. Besides that, whatever takes longer to heat up, also takes longer to cool down."

From all of my research I've found that metal intakes result in slightly higher intake temps at idle, but once air is moving through the inlet while driving they all have very similar air temps. Hope that helps.

cool, if thats the case, then im going for looks and that looks the best by far. thank you!
