we arent arguing how much hp gains you get from this....we are talking just about CAI vs SRI....the both are going to make the same hp except CAI will probably make 1 hp more or so because its actually pulling in cooler air but who cares about 1 hp.....when you are talking about CAI vs SRI you are basically aruging on what sound do you want....SRI will give you a higher pitched sound while CAI will give you a deeper sound....As for I H E vs Nitous, no s**t Nitrous will give you more gains...but people dont put I H E on thier cars thinking that they are going to go out and win races unless you are some ricer and you think that an AEM sticker will give you 5 hp per sticker....Most of the time people put I H E on thier cars, from my experience of being around people that mod imports, to get a nice sound, better pull from the throttle, and slightly better gas mileage....no one that wants to really drag or auotx will just put I H E if they REALLY want to compete....but even saying that is irrelevant...because in auotxing someone with the BIGGEST fasted car ever could get beat by a stock engine car if the stock engine car had a sweet suspension set up and the fast car didnt...plus you gotta throw driver skill in there....so those arent really relevant examples...As foryou being an a*****e, I never said that....I think that we just misunderstood each other...because I was just comenting on that CAI is BETTER than stock air boxes in the fact that YES you will get MORE hp from CAI than stock air box...no you wont get 10000000 hp from CAI but you will get more than a stock air box because there are LESS restrictions...And to argue that over getting CAI vs SRI because one will give you more hp is dumb too....you are looking at 1-2 hp difference IF EVEN THAT....so just base your decision off of what sound you want or you dont want to risk hydrolocking...oc_civic said:dude you took it the wrong way.. i have a s**t load of bolt ons and nitrous.. so no turbo... but its pretty quick for a single cam.. and that is my point.. absolutely no disrepsct.. but why make a "starter mod" that does NOTHING.. just to feel like you are modding the car??? i mean lets keep it real for a second..
