Intake question

[gftb5]

i got a cold air intake for my 3.4 camaro (1994) will this really benefit my car as they say it will.

[Genopsyde]

it'll help, but not nearly as much as the vendor says it will.

[kenwood guy]

so do all vendors lie ??

[Genopsyde]

not all, but most.

Im sorta new to cold air intakes, i know i will get some hp, but how much? and what other benefits will i get?

Honestly, your best bet is to sell your CAI (cold air intake) to some idiot that is willing to buy it. All the CAI will do is lean out your mixture and thus robbing you of horsepower in the mid RPM range. If anything, simply replace your stock air filter with a high flow tyupe such as K&N. Again, my suggestion, find an idiot on ebay to buy your CAI, DO NOT INTALL IT...

[kenwood guy]

wow where did you get this info????? I never knew that

[Dober89]

Why would a CAI lean out your mixture?? Ive never heard that anywhere. Thats why the computer uses sensors to measure the incoming air so it can add the right amount of fuel.

A CAI will give you a bit of power, and should also make the car a little louder too. You may notice a bit of throttle response difference.

Thanks Dober

I agree with Dober on this one, I just installed my CAI on my 3.4 and I think it's worth it. It sounds nice and I really like it. Did you buy the entire kit GFT? I was looking at them and I didn't feel like spending $200 on something that looked so simple. I got a deal from a guy on the forum and made a custom kit, in the end it maybe cost me $50.

[kenwood guy]

how did you make a costom kit???

[Genopsyde]

he's talkin about those resistors you hook up to that one sensor and it makes the computer think it's getting nothing but cold air coming in and all that other shit.

[kenwood guy]

sounds like its hard to do

[Genopsyde]

that's cuz you're a dumbass...














j/k

[kenwood guy]

why did bjazi01 say that the CAI will drain your mid range power???
