Why a CAI SHOULDN'T be your first mod.

I'd love to see some dyno sheets on these heavily bolt-on modded cars. My Camaro is a commuter/work car and I ended up modding it because I mod everything I own for some reason. Every bolt-on out there and a tune and I'd bet I got 25hp tops by the feel of it.

This is coming from the guy that claims he has made his car a 1LE just because he got the 1LE suspension kit P/N 23123398.

Also look at Keenebell.net and see what they have to say about hot air intakes and thier use. They will void all warranties on thier superchargers due to increased temperatures.

Word of advice, never take a manufacturer's word...any manufacturer. They all have ulterior motives for whatever they say.

I read the article...it says the stock throttlebody can handle up to 765hp. And doesnt really add any power when upgraded until your supercharged. Also the stock air box as is can perform up to power levels of 650hp as it is. These numbers change of course when adding boost.

I NEVER claimed that! I hope you're joking...
I did enjoy stirring up the 1LE guys who think everyone must want to be like them.

The problem is people think their opinions are facts. Not everybody but quit a few.
