Dude spent stupid money and then immediately turned around and sold the car for a loss. All in the chase I suppose.

Any mod'ed car would be sold at a loss though. But for what he spent is a bit over the edge.

yea hence why i stopped when i did. i can easily do ported mani and whatnot but the return jsut isnt there for me.

I know that for the next one, I'm getting an oil cooler. I'm not sure about the Stillen G3s, but I suppose that if I'm going to take the bumper off to install the oil cooler, I might as well do the CAI AND a better horn.

I passed on the G3 because after installing the oil cooler, I didnt want to fiddle with trying to stuff the CAI in there. Alot of people said the stock air boxes are more than adequite, so spending the extra 500 didnt seem reasonable. But definately yes on the oil cooler! I was regularly seeing my oil temps get to 240-250 even with moderate driving in 80 degree temps. Now I've yet to see it over 220

That's why you buy a CAI used for $300. Sure, the stock boxes are "adequate" in that they supply enough air for the engine to run, but they certainly aren't more than adequate, or you wouldn't make any gains by going CAI, and every dyno ever done shows gains.

also the heat.

long tube intakes lower the air temp going into the engine.

That's what I did. Installed both at the same time, plus the power steering cooler.

All 4 of my 4 guys were out. I think they forgot to hire them. Work back up is a normal part of my life.

Dude was soaked from head to toe and literally dripping all over the office.
