your intake needs improvement?

I see a delta of 8-10* F over 50 MPH.

I keep forgetting all we care about is the strip.

alright so i guess its settled then, it wont effect the tune on a 3.5 setup if it WAS originally tuned with a CAI, but now i just do open cone... correct?

Correct...like I've said...intake placement on these cars doesn't really matter.

All you people who think its gonna help...air is gonna get stupid hot regardless with that Heaton...so go ahead and try to make it cold. Matter of fact...stick an ice box in there.

a cryo2 system will cool it down...

so i tried it out, and it seemed to be hanging really low, it wouldnt fit right up to the throttle body, and then i had no where to put the IAT sensor so i thought it was going to throw a code...

Mine is just sitting on the outside of the cone, but still close to it. If you get a small spectre filter it should just barely fit. If not, get a 4" 45* elbow and some PCV and drill a hole for the IAT.

does your intake rub or touch anything, that's pretty much what mine looked like but it was rubbing against the wheel well, and diagonal braces

nope.. not at all.... i have the pcv pushed in the rubber a good bit.. i lifted my pcm up against my overflow... the filter right in the air hole..

right now i have (instead of PVC) 4 inch aluminum exhaust that connects to my intake, for some reason no hardware store around me sells 4 inch PVC....

get a razor blade make a small slit in the rubber
shove iat inside

^^Because thats the way to get that sh1t done, brutha.

now it disrupts your awesome flow.

Notrly.

Race > Flow > Ambient Temps

Here's mine I made for dirt cheap... took the K&N off and went AEM Dryflow like 95% of the people on here have.... AEM Dryflows $20 shipped all day long....

The intake tubing gets warm but it never gets hot like burn you hot...
