Just like my stand alone Airaid CAI (no tune required) claims up to 20 HP!! NOT TRUE either!! LOL

I think if you're going to have your car at triple digit speeds for extended periods of time - sure, go for it! But the odds of that are slim to none.

Go for a Vortech, Procharger, or X Charger!

I'm thinking of doing a turbo on mine

wouldn't a vented hood have more benefit than a functional scoop? in regards to venting engine bay heat?

I think I'll test that theory next week by opening up my scoop and sticking a thermometer to the underside of the hood

Semi serious

Well yeah, because that's what they're made for.
Scoop (functional) are generally made for engine intake in mind.

Or you could wire in a common household fan and superglue it to the underside of the hood. Probably will help about as much.

One of the reasons I went for the Cervinis Type IV is that it also has extractors...
