custom cai

RE: custom cai
if i remember right, this guy has a 3.4L V6 engine. the 3.4L V6 doesnt have a MAF - its Speed Density.It'svery very hard to create a "too much air" situationin (its just very difficult to overbreathe) the SD setup. It's doable but just having dual air filters wont create that situation.
Putting that setup on any 4th gen fbody would be a terrible idea due to the way the engine bay / hood / airflow in the engine bay works. You would only suck in hot air, not cold air that is essential to an efficient running engine. IMO it would be more beneficial to get two K&N FIPK (since they are teh same front or back) and have one on either side going up to the throttle body - you would see more gains this way and it would still look cool.
as for adding hp / tq - the throttle body at this point is the biggest limit. even if you have a massive amount of air hitting the throttle body- you are still limited to the amount of air that can enter the opening of the throttle body; i.e. - your cars airflow potential is limited to its biggest bottleneck.
port/polish/upgrade so that your car needs this kind of modification, and then you can say it does something as well as "look cool".
just my 02 cents.
