whats the year and model?

 

[booby]

cai, pullies, cams, throttle body, coil packs.... problem is that you will n/a yourself right out of DD status.

list updated, so what do u mean by n/a'n myself out of dd?

 

[booby]

and as far as cai's go. im thinking jlt. which do u think is best? using a cai (going down to the wheel well) or a rai, which stops right before the headlight housing?

 

[TBapp3]

You know I have tryed to figure this out myself.....All I could really think is the air in the engine bay must be hotter:idk: So I only could imagine that the CAI is the way to go..What exactly are coil packs??

 

[booby]

yeah, the thing is that, yes the wait in the engine bay is hotter, but the piping is shorter, so more air is pushed though. if u get it from the wheel well, its cooler, but has to travel further. so im not sure which is the way to go. as for coil packs, they xfer power from the batt to where they need to go, usually faster and with less resistance. they add anywhere between 10-35hp

 

[TBapp3]

Ahhh pretty sweet never new of theme!

and Id love a big debate on CAI vs RAI to see what the majority says!

look at my quote of quick 281, i added some things to his list in the quote...

oo, didnt notice that lool sneaky bastard!!

so intake? isnt intake = cai? or do u mean plenum?

 

[TBapp3]

So I take it by looking at theme that more volt coils = better??

hotter spark, better burn = more power... if you get to wild with n/a it wont be practical for DD use. s/c would be the best way to keep it mild with enuff power and safe for DD

 

[TBapp3]

Al lways learning hear on NYM!

intake as in either an upper plenum, or a complete intake. not a cai

 

[booby]

gotcha! updated.

so any suggestions or input between cai or rai?

Would this also mean that dif. spark plugs are recommended at the same time?

 

[Quick281]

nope, dont need any special plugs. go with a jlt intake
