I would to see your intake temps at the track, or anyone else running a HAI like you push.
    That's fine...I've already had a scanner on my car...sitting at idle it does run a bit hot, but the second you start moving...which is what matters, gets down within +/- 10* ambient. I don't have to really prove anything to you, nor do I care really...my car runs like a raped ape. Non-intercooled...no methanol injection...no E-85. I've got no knock ever on a 3.1"...under freezing temps...and over 13psi...and still room to go and I'm running around 19-20* @ WOT. Plus...my IAT isn't ziptied to anywhere...it's in my rubber coupler after the TB as seen here...


    So...like I ALSO TELL PEOPLE...UNLESS YOUR RUNNING UNDER A 3.4" SETUP...OR you don't care about temps and you like better throttle response and blower whine...open cone is going to win. I had my car at the track running mid 13's with track temps sitting at 132* in the blistering heat a couple years ago. I killed what knock I had on a 3.25" with race gas...and my intake temps were about that of the track...140*'s...which is stupid hot and humid. Car ran like crap. Can't win all the time can you? I also doubt a filter inside a little lunch box would have outperformed any better in that situation as well. Something else to note, SlowNA06 tested that...and gained power over a CAI...so, I bet your not getting as much air as you possibly could if you had a bigger filter/tubing...but when you actually mod your car, you can let me know how much better the open cone is when you get there. Someday.

    ZZ Performance
    That's moot. He has that on there for advertising. What do you think they did all the years before they had that? Since it was just released recently. The ZZP CAI is a piece of junk anyways, just like the MSP/SLP/Wizaird. DIY a big 4" Fenderwell and shove it in the fender OR slap a filter on the TB. It really isn't rocket science.
