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

[Mzodarg]

wrenching and Harley go in the same sentence, torque and top end should only be used in the same sentence if the word WISH is included!

Evidently you don't know much about 119 HP and 121 TQ out of 2 cylinders. The way I do math, that's 59.5hp per cyl 476 HP over 8 cylinders. Just my experience, and my world for many years.

What kind of drivability issue were you experiencing?

Wouldnt it be better for everyone to send him a paypal donation of some sort?

We want complete unbiased testing...nothing for him to gain by picking one vendor over another....just let the results speak..........

thanks for the testing!!!!

I PM'd(yesterday) New Era as well as Vararam and made them aware of this post. Those are the two i would most like to see and would be the ones i would probly want on my car, if only they would send theirs in.

Steady speed, light throttle (30-45 mph) engine bucking especially going downhill. I know at least 6 others with the same problem when using New Era. I also know many that don't seem to have any problem at all! The acceleration was definatly better but trying to cruise at a steady speed was annoying. Chevy dealer couldn't find anything wrong with stock intake installed. I was told that this is due to TOO MUCH air at light or no throttle steady speed and the ECM trying to compensate for it.

Not to muddy the waters here but..

I'm not sure the dyno test is a far gauge for a "Ram Air" system.
You may only see a 1-2 HP on the dyno when in a real world scenario you really get 15.

If I were one of the "Ram Air" manufacturers I would be hesitant as well.
Some under/uninformed buyer sees this test and makes a bad decision.

For the other "CAI" systems I think this test should prove very helpful.

Just my $.02

You would be Right if Ram Air were Real, Ram Air Is a Myth.

Ted I'll defer to your experience as you surely have more than I.

However it seems common sense that systems like New Era and Vararam are going to see much better results @ speed, going down the road/track.

No?
