The concept of sucking enough water to cause hydro-lock is about as close to impossible in winning the lottery.  If it's a serious concern, you can buy the AEM bypass valve and install it. It's less than $50, I believe.

i have the by-pass valve, and i drove through many rain and snow storms - no problems. even without the valve i doubt i would have sucked in water.

about the bypast valve, my friend had one on his GSR and he felt that somthing was wrong, so we dynoed his GSR and as it turns out the valve was sucking in hot air from the engine area, and gave him about 5 wheel hp less than the normal CAI. Normally his GSR ran 185hp at the wheels but with the bypass we got readings from 177-179hp as the peek.

Wow...and I thought AEM claimed that installing a by-pass valve will not affect performace at all!

yeah they do claim "minimal horsepower losses" and its suppose to stay closed all the time. Anyone else have any other bypass valve trouble/losses?
