When I just sitting, idling, my IAT's might climb to 160F (like in the staging lanes). Driving in traffic, at stop lights I might hit 130F before rolling again. When cruising, my IAT's are probably 5-10F above ambient. So, I added meth/water injection to ensure they're nice and low when pounding on the throttle and in boost.

I spoke with Kevin yesterday and he said that the pipes can actually restrict the air intake and cause a loss in power.... and that is not what I want. The meth deal is great......but meanwhile the filters are being prematurely dried out(fried lol) on a regular basis thus need to be changed out frequently. Thus I need easy access....thus maybe it is time to cut!

Yea Kevin talked me out of the pipes too. Please post pictures if you decide to cut, I may do the same thing. Didn't I see in another thread you made 1200whp? I'm guessing e85 if no meth? I'm in some 800whp no mans land. Seems like plenty of folks at 700hp or under and everyone else is at 1000hp+.

*Nvm, I found your info in the AGP thread.

Cuts made.....and I am really glad I did it. Easy in n out. And it doesn't look like it will cause structural issue.
Nothing looks as nice as new K&N air filters!
