Put it in the 12's without the CAI and we will listen Buster.

Seriously theintake duct is only worth1-3 rwhp so something like the VMP/Half intakewouldbe a good choice.
Its only about $60 more than the tuner alone.

The real issue with the stock intake is not the MAF size in my opinion but the tiny little holeof the air inlet.
If you cut out the bottom of the air boxyou would see most of the gains in my opinion.
This would be akin to the SilencerRemoval Trick we used on 5.0's.

 

That is a HUGE improvement for an air intake and a tune; atmospherice conditions have to have played a part.

 

columbus oh, elevation at the track is 889ft

 

right, most of my hp gains were from the tune itself. but got it for looks as well.

 

Nice improvement for the money spent!Good job!

 

It'sperfectly acceptable foryouto sayit's"just my opinion"when you have an unsubstantiated belief that an automotive performanceproduct is a waste of money. It's simply what you feel aboutthe product, and nobody can deny you the right toexpress your feelings.
However, in the same breath you attempted to stealthily substantiate your belief by including your personaldata("My best at Milan last Wed was 13.69")as acomparison of your car's performance to the OP's performance(13.80) regardingthe non-use and use, respectively, of theproduct. And since that changed your comment from an opinion into an assertion, I felt thatI had to explain the difference in my previous post. But you evidently did not read between the lines.

 

tires should be everyones first mod.

I think you can have alot of fun at the track with just
CAI/tune and drag radials. Beat any stock GTs at the track

 

That was all I'm saying, not trying to insult anybody, and dropping my time by 1/2 second with a CAI?
