I've heard way too much chit about intakes. i wanna know if anybody can let me know the hp increase after a tune with Popcharger, and after a tune with CAI. please lets settle this

 

Tuning your car after a simple intake upgrade would not be worth it. I would also advise you to use the Search button. This topic has been discussed hundreds if not thousands of times.

 

What about in the long run, and after a few more mods? is there an advantage?

 

a lot of things factor. Depends on how much you are willing to spend on tuning... ie just bolt ons... or future FI, maybe both? If you're cheap like me, still learning about bolt ons etc. so I'll stick w/ cheap intakes like the JWT Pop. But there are more expensive intakes that will benefit w/ FI.

 

thats what i meant in reality

 

I dont know, when i was N/A i had a AEM CAI and then switched it out for the popcharger. The hp gain from an intake is so minute to begin w/ that it really makes little diff. however the JWT i did notice a SLIGHT bit more power and it cost half as much as the AEM. I think most CAI suck anyway because the tube that leads to the filter is metal. ( metal heats! ) AKA useless in my oopinion. The JWT goes off the stock Z tube which is plastic. Plastic does not conduct as much heat as metal there for it gains more power. Remeber, very minute power but it is there.

 

Thanks for asking but I am all talked out about intakes.

5.5rwhp gained on mine. The install was done while on the dyno, so these are the best before and after runs. Your not going to do much better, if at all with a CAI, so I say go with the Popcharger.
