Come look at the extra 28 rwhp on the dyno on my cold air bs performance parts. Come feel the difference in the seat of your pants and experience the better throttle response. A stock K & N will get you little in hp or seat of the pants feel. Please read the posts and see the improvement these things along with a tune make.Alec said:Had an 88 gt with a "ram air" kit on it. The intake was down where the fog lights were. Hit a puddle hydro locked the motor.
Back in the 5.0 vs Buick Grand national heyday all kinds of snake oil stuff was out there. This car is very popular and there will be a flood of b.s performance parts.
With most of these cold air deals you don't feel anything. It's numbers on a dyno.
Ford spent a lot of $$ on R&D; you will probably get just as much "gain" with a K&N in the stocker.
caveat emptor
Save your money.
Notice I said MOST....not all, and you say along with a TUNE. So is it the bumped up timing/fuel map... or is it your air filter setup. Relax your car is teh fastest you WIN!!jpiatchek said:Come look at the extra 28 rwhp on the dyno on my cold air bs performance parts.

I live in houston and regular cars get high water damaged all the time.rob6773 said:In some cases there is less chance of hydro lock. I've been working on cars for years and seen many factory set-ups cause this disaster. Some of the cone-type cold air set-ups for trucks are being marketed as preventing a hydr-lock.

Ever notice they are the first "performance part" out along with mufflers pipes etc..
Sometimes stock is pretty good, sometimes it sucks
