Airaid Jr installed. Question about resetting computer

[JennaBear]

Right Lee. So if its just a relearn, my logic tells me, resetting power to the computer shouldn't affect that bc its constantly making any needed adjustments. I should "relearn" anytime something is changed right?

It resets all the learned functions, so it essentially starts from scratch.

Thanks, Jenna. This makes perfect sense now.

The only actual air flow gains you get with this AirRaid JR kit is with the air filter supplied.
The tube only smooth's out the air flow, this helps a little but very minimum at best.
The air flow still has to travel first thru the short smaller section that the MAF sensor is in..
You could go with just a aftermarket air filter and not really notice any difference.
Doing a dyno it might show but very minimum gains if any.
Most defiantly NOTHING by the seat of the pants testing, by comparing the two.

Who cares. It sounds cool.

FYI for some folks. Black Bear actually took the time to dyno test a few intakes. Here's the link.

Yes, it sounds cool without the resonator and looks cool but if a person is on a tight budget there is a lower cost way to actually gain more air flow and power. Then when $$$ is more available you can spend it to sound good and feel cool.
There still are a few people that live week to week and have a tight budget.

The issue on the stock intake is not the filter and box, it is the Helmholtz tube. To decrease the sound of the intake air, the is tuned to a specific frequency which causes airflow disturbance.

The dyno doesn't lie. Keep in mind, our testing was done on one vehicle on the same day, same conditions. The results were without tuning.

Now all we need is a Dyno comparison between these intakes and the DIY CAI mod along with the intakes.
I'm pretty sure you would be impressed with the results, even with only having the DIY mod you would be impressed.
NOT just between stock, stock with a aftermarket air filter and then with aftermarket air filter & intake.

I've been around dyno testing for many years and deffently trust the results, especially when you try little things that most people would never think of and get even better results.

I did the Airaid Jr. and also incorporated your airbox mod this weekend. I can feel a "seat of the pants" difference...

The dynos show the most improvement was gained from changing out the intake piping. That is where the restrictions are, so any upstream changes will have relatively minimal gains. In the end the gains are relatively low.

Don't get me wrong, I am all for DIY performance mods and have done quite a few on my vehicles. Since I am cheap and have little time to work on vehicles I have to be efficient in choosing my mods.

I applaud those who try various things and share . If someone would like to dyno the larger intake hole, versus aftermarket, versus stock that would be great . IMO the results will be similar to the dynos already performed.
