Intake

What intakes y'all got and how much of a difference did it make

I have a spectre with an AEM dry filter, And even though they`ve been dyno tested and do make extra horsepower you will never feel a difference.

Cheep eBay kit. Seems to be ok.

"Intake" meaning some expensive plastic tube & open air filter? isn't going to do anything until you increase the throttle body bore. But there's no point unless you are upgrading the top end and trying to cram every lb/ft of air possible. Save your money for a full blown mod or maintenance items like brake pads & oil changes.

Chubbs, so what about wrapping the air box and intake tube with heat reflecting material to help cool air coming in?

In theory this should improve performance but not likely enough to make a difference you would notice.

Actually our TB's are plenty big enough all the way to 500 hp or better. A bigger one is a waste of money unless you manage 550 hp or more. I'm running a stock one with a Whipple, headers and next week a cam. And I'm still pulling plenty of air through the stock TB.

I believe you. What is stock mm anyway? I saw 90mm TB bore (aftermarket) & like WTF....

Right. The whole theory behind air intake is colder, faster, and largest quantity possible. Until you have a charger hooked up to an intercooler you aren't doing much of anything. The free-flow or open cone underneath the hood is actually drawing less, & much warmer air than the factory intake having outside air from the fenderwell rammed in.

I have an Airaid system with the cone filter and intake tube still sucking air from the factory location but when using my predator scanner the intake air temps seems to climb rapidly at a stop light or stop and go traffic usually 20-30° higher at times...what could that be?
