Calling all Vendors with CAI's - PROVE Your CAI Gains! READ

[mrcowboy]

Still waiting on this...

[Laforce]

Still waiting for those OTR intakes(Vararam, New Era) to show up and let us know if they are in or why they are not. I know that I was leaning towards them but not if they don't stand behind their product. It makes me wonder... oh well, I know I (and i assume many others like me) won't put pride, faith and money into an intake that a company does not take pride in.

There is still time to get in the game OTR intake, you have many potential buyers that need you to step up.

Apparently you haven't read this thread.

Vararam isn't out yet and they don't want to send a beta intake for testing when they are still make adjustments.

New Era will send one after they catch up on their customer orders.

What is the big deal? It's a serious question not trying to start anything. From all the talk of gains from other threads your only talking about 1 to 5 hp difference from CAI to CAI right? No too mention the differences from car to, you can check 10 or 100 cars, the avg. difference will still net the same. I mean look at all the dyno runs made, not one car pulled the same number, in stock configuration or modd'ed configuration, never the same. Even 3 pulls from the same car is not the same.

A CAI is not the end all performance adder. They are all the same in my opinion. Duking out for the best CAI is cool but the overall difference is mostlikely not going to be much. Seems like there is a huge work up for not much. IMO no offense intended

Ted do you have it out for a certain manufacturer and are not telling us? It sounds like you are going to test everyone the same. I may not be a smart man, but I can change my oil (sort of). I am not asking for the full explanation, and I understand the variances allowed but it just seem like if whatever the issue is going to be a problem, why is only going to be a problem for the ONE sole manufacturer? I mean is there really going to be THAT big of a problem? If you run a race and everyone has 50 lbs of weight strapped to their back, doesn't everyone have carry the 50 lbs? Don't you still find out who is stronger?

And if you have a genuine concern why can't you just call this guy and ask some questions? I feel like I'm in a Perry Mason movie...."Your Honor I object to this test because....." (loosely translated, Um my intake may not fair to well. Everyone listen to my objection, this, and only this, is the reason my intake didn't perform well.)

OK my rant is over. I just get frustrated with people who are excuse-ers. Ted is going to a lot of trouble, and has spelled out what he is going to do, and we have people who are questioning him on a forum to seemingly discredit the testing. If you are not happy with the test, don't send your product.

THANK YOU (not to the first sentence?)

Not sure that I quite follow this 100% especially the first sentence.
The rest is understandable.

Let me say this in response to the first sentence.

I Ted Jannetty Do Not Manufacture Cold Air Kits of any kind, I am not friends with anyone who manufactures cold air kits, I have a completely open mind and will let the results speak for themselves.

I am doing this To find out for myself What is out there and What works best for my customers, I am a perfectionist and want to share what I know and learn with my customers.

I am a bonafide Car Nut, I love what I do with passion for perfection, I want my cake and eat it too.

I am 45 years old have been in business since age 22, I started with a $10,000 loan from the bank with my dad cosigning and 1700 sq ft. 1 bay garage

I built my business on customer service and attention to detail, 23 years later we are at 9000 square ft in 2 buildings with 8 employees who I personally trained for each position and all of the best equipment available.

I hope this answers some of the questions of my credibility.

Sincerely Ted.

Thanks, Ted.

Thanks for your time and effort on this. I am sure you know, no matter what it is, there will always be those internet-based "experts" who feel they have to say something about something.

None of us is paying you to do this so take your time. I, for one, just thankful someone is doing it.

[CGM2SSRS]

Let me add That I've trusted my new camaro to Ted and his crew. In my experience I've seen a shop that operates with a high code of ethic across the board. Something not easy to find these day's. And being a veteran of the US Army SF I am pretty anal about my living space,personal being and property. His place is just about the only one I've seen that rates a 4.0 in my book. I live in Vermont and have a long ass haul down there, but would not consider anyone else to do the work I cant or choose not to do.
If there is anyone that can be trusted to their word, Ted can.

Best vendor response I have EVER seen!

You need to design a logo for supporting members to place in their signature section.

Despite being a competitor I'de be happy to show some vendor support.

These quotes are why this test is going to rock.

You are the man Ted. I KNOW this will be the real deal legit test. No bullsh1t.

Now hurry up I am an internet forum poster and waiting is not in my nature.

[CGM2SSRS]

Excuse me while I wipe the,"brown", off my nose. LOL. But hey, facts are facts. I'm just hoping that vara and new era will somehow manage to join this party.
