Lets see....K&N-$50, LMR-$400???? WTF! Oh, I got time..my cars been just sittin in SC waiting for a truck since last Wed!!! Dang it!!!

I was talking/bugging the poop out of the tuner , (IIRC) he said with the stock tune and the LMR intake Bryan's car was getting KR (pulling timing) .
Goes back to the LOW octane thing , with 93 the stock tune/LMR could have run the full timing cruve and = more of a gain with just the intake .

I got a good look at the LMR intake , smooth bends/1 pipe with out a lot of coulpers(like other cai) and a very isolated air fliter . It a very nice pice , looks very good and sounds G R E A T .
I would not write it off of your list just yet .
