lol, is good to know i still have a loyal customer out there!

 

real funny... wanna race>???? hehehe

 

Since I had three mods done at the same time (Cats, Timing Advance and CAI) it is very hard for me to tell that drivability was or was not impacted by the CAI as a stand alone mod. However, I am very satisfied with the whole package. The sound it nice and response seems to be improved. No adverse impact that I can tell and no CEL. When I do a post dyno, I will let the numbers speak for themselves. (I don't give much credibility to the butt dyno because everyone wants their mods to perform.)

Last two notes:

1. I drove back from Lokey in a rain storm with the confidence that the NISMO CAI has a water diverter built in. Would not have done the mod without it.

2. The timing advance does stick and it not returned to stock by the ECU as some have speculated. I monitored timing via the Blitz both before and after. Timing is definitely advanced 2-3 degrees across the entire RPM range.

 

just curious, what did they charge to hook up the consult II and raise the timing 2degrees??

 

Please PM John directly for this. I had a bunch of stuff done at once as a package.

 

FYI, final results are now posted in the reviews section of Driver. No changes from the preliminary.

Great Info.. they say you can safely add 1/2 to 1 deg of timing per 10 degrees cooler intake temps....

 

Nice... now how about a comparison of a true CAI to a "CAI" box like Stillen's?

 

he said he doesn't want to do it and that he would leave it to someone else... I had offered to lend him my stillen box for a while :-(

Yeah, I'll have to leave that one to someone else.

 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
