Anyone know if I would see all that much of a disparity in added HP between the drop-in and the replacement CAI? I'd rather go with the drop in...

 

huge diff, go w/ CAI

 

I think it's hard to say at this point. there are plenty of dynos on this board of various intakes and drop-ins, but none on the same car, back to back. Most of the intake dynos I've seen are all over the board, which seems to be related to the airflow over the map sensor...

 

they arent CAI.. they are only short ram intakes..

 

I think most of the dynos are pre-OEM reflash as well, and given that fuel richness is a big problem it's likely that they don't free as much HP on a reflashed X. I'd like to see parts dynoed on a reflashed car.

 

I think someone should hop on the dyno with both for a comparison..
