Something to think about before installing intake

[MAZDARacing2007]

well its been proven many times that a CAI helps, thats one dyno run^^ and i dont think that all the people with a CAI would have spent the money on it if it was just for an "engine ornament",

yes that dyno run was probably messed up,

Im not trying too be a smart a** but, i dont think all the stuff about the MS CAI in the magazines would have been wrong.

IMO

hay bones do you have the dyno run graph? im currious to see this beacuse all the graphs ive seen multiple cars added 20-30 HP and its not just a peek adder and we keep breathing up past 6 grand unlike stock which has problems after 5.5grand. i dont remember the torque gains off top of my head.

I'm installing my MS CAI this weekend... I was going to dyno the pre and post install, but I really don't feel like spending $120 or so on dynos when what really matters is the dyno butt...

MS3 with MS CAI

MS3 Stock

Wow. That was my car with the screwed up dyno. Something weird happened during the pull that made a loud clicking sound. ZooZoom thought it might be pinging, but it sounded more like arcing to me. The next run was more stable.

Basically, we had three different cars show up on the same day.
GotNoSpice - CPE CAI - 228 Horsepower, 243 Torque
ZooZoom - Stock - 240 Horsepower, 249 Torque
Ferdball (Me) - MS-CAI - 235 Horsepower, 251 Torque

Don't know why ZooZoom's car dyno'd higher. But he did put on a Cobb SRI recently, and his dyno's (different shop this time) were a little more realistic.
