    on a supercharged car that is 110% incorrect. absolute flow is what matters the most.

    would colder air be better? not when your CAI sacrifices 100cfm of flow to achieve that extra 5 degree drop...

    now on a NA car who's intake already flows sufficiently for the level of mods the CAI would be a better choice.

    100cfm?! So you are saying that the tube on my car is preventing me from having how much more HP?

    true, but the m90 = lots of heat. Its going to heat up anyway. Open cone FTW

    Word. That's why: meth injection/intercooling. For the money you spent on a CAI to get mediocre (at best) gains...save up for something that will actually help.
