But don't go around recommending them like you're giving good advice. You're not.

Actually, I think you read this one backwards. He was saying a short ram benefits someone with less mechanical aptitude.

it's more of a subtle change which i'm crediting to the resonation of metal opposed to the silicone/plastic tubing of the stocks tubes

then again i could be spouting from my arse again... i'm sure others who have the gen 3 (no other bolt ons) can attest the change.

That would make more sense. Lesson learned for posting before caffeine

Do you know what the IAT's would be with coldair intakes I logged a run with my set up and say temps at 15 and fuel temps at 11. AN have zero clue what those mean.

Not sure how you're seeing IATs of 15 degrees F. Was that in Celsius? IAT's will be a few degrees above ambient when moving.

Give or take 60ish. He is Boston so that's possible

Are the Nismo R-tune intakes any good?

That's probably pretty close then.

Thanx jwick, The 16 is what the table on Ciper says the temp outside was like 65 degrees at least that what he car said, LOL

The actual formula is (9/5)*TempC + 32 = TempF. Except for easy numbers that 9/5ths typically requires a calculator. I just substitute 9/5ths for 2 and it makes the math simple and gets you in the ballpark

That is not what I meant. Chuck has the mechanical ability and I was referring to the folks that don't. My apologies for it sounding the wrong way Chuck.
