Yeah, when I did mine - I probably OVER tightened my clamps. I don't want no dirty air getting in my engine!

It happens to us all, sooner or later. Just wait until a plenum spacer comes out. And you hear of others with your same prob with the CAI. A vacumn leak is usually the #1 culprit to a bucking Z.

Did you find out before or after taking it back to the dealership? Hopefully you're the only person who had to know!

I won a day at the track thru a raffle and once my oil cooler is installed I will be heading out.
Its drag racing not autox so i should be fine, not sure if im going anymore...its raining right now...track opens at 6:00pm tonight for street legals but weather is calling for the showers to stop at 4:00pm with 19*C temps so it might dry up in time....iiunno.
