I had a great birthday in the shop (ARD Houston Owen Priest) and my family along with Russ, Mike, Larry, more wives and kids tinkering with the Sonic. GM has the air box to MAF dialed in. No matter what we did with the 'CAI' configurations the same tune with the OE air box delivered better results.

The computer is easy to work with. We have some ideas for another run at a better flowing CAI. I have ordered spares. We use a manual boost control and get to 160 FWHP or more with we think with a couple of pounds of boost.

The intercooler performed well. Shop temp ranged from 89 to 96. Temps measured at the air intake to intercooler to plenum were within 8 degrees. At the end of the day we learned at least 2,967 ways not to make more power on a Sonic. ;-)
