I have heard some where that the Steeda CAI kit fits on the MagnaCharger S/C? I can't find it anywhere on the net now that I have the S/C on my car. Can anyone help me out?

Also all the Forced induction cars out there, what is your secret for traction?

taller and wider rear tires.

I have 295/45/18's out back and 4.10 gears which makes the effective gearing 3.92. I break tires loose in first (it's a joke), 2nd gear, and I chirp 3rd when I short shift. But the wider tires definitely do help with the traction, as well as the effective gearing being lower because of the taller rear tires.

no one else has seen the Steeda CAI mounted to the MagnaCharger?

Also, a taller tire is the same as putting taller (numerical lower) gears in a car correct?

I haven't found the secret yet. Not that I've been trying very hard.

I have 18x10 in the back of my car and just yesterday while on a freeway on-ramp, I accidentally broke them loose after I was already rolling at 20-25 mph.
