So im having a convo about certain mods. Two of them being P&P s/c & heads and also a CAI.
1. Im a fan of P&P and i've been thru my share of bits, LOL. My argument is that P&P is only beneficial if your sucking more air in and need to get it out. Like having a s/c with a smaller pully or a big Turbo. Porting isnt always the best, it depends more on your mod needs. I personally think that any setup could benefit from Polishing. Smoothing surfaces for a better flow is something any motor would love.
What do you guys think? Always P&P or is polishing alone efficient enough(unless your pulling in a bunch of air with a Cam, smaller pulley, etc)?
2. Now, this one is about a CAI. This is probably one of the most controversy topics on any forum. This is usually the main and first Mod any driver would do. Now in my opinion, unless your stock intake is configured in a retarted restricted way, than your stock intake would be great once gutted and fitted with a K&N filter. Look at our cars, the stock intake pretty much sits in the same place where we spend so much money for a FWI(unless u made your own) but our stock intake is practically already sitting in that spot and if you never noticed, the stock box is well insulated from heat and the filter is completely housed. Honestly the only thing i would change about the stock intake is the tubing. I would put a piece of aluminum straight tubing/pipe in place of the stock tubing to smooth and maximize the airflow.
What do you guys think of the stock intake being efficient enough? Yeah, on some cars the intake is really restrictive but on our 3800s the air intake is hardly restrictive compared to others
