I should add I have no engine mods. It's all stock.

And Jonathan, that thing "hanging" out of my block, actually is in it. It just sticks out. It's weird but I guess thy the way the block heater is on my car

unless its tuned for it, it will get a little worse simply because the fuel trims are scewed from the added air flow the maf sensor can't correct for it properly. that and most CAI are a bigger diameter then stock tubing.

and jon i have another picture for you, sent to your email.

thx steve.... also i noticed that the more you add the worse everything gets and milage went into the shiter.... hahhaha specially if you punch it a lil bit.... thats why tunning is needed....

also due to sensor being unable to correct for change your hp will barely increase but yet you still have small gains... ask jon.... i bet if he tunes before he dynos again he will see a big diff...

nope, apparently there's a backlog for it and because of the size they can't priority it. atleast thats what duncan told me.

The funniest thing ever just happened. Me and my buddy just left castrol raceway and he was supposed to follow me to original joes. Right before I pulled put of my parking space another yellow cobalt drove past me. So my friend starts following him and get himself completely lost haha. Ends up in Devon near the Indian reserve. Which is actually a quicker way but **** haha.
