Someone on here I for get who, said it best; horse power fights Gas milage and that is the best way to put it. I made a CAI for my 93' 2.3L LX and I notice better responce at higher RPMs but not anything big like 5-20hp gains most people are looking for. I also didn't notice any Gas milage differences.

As for how letting your car breath better to help power. I put it to you this way, it allows more air to enter into the motor, the more air the more fire ( this is all forced induction does, it injects of shoves more air into the motor for a bigger gulf of air on the fire). Now the more the engine is able to get reed of the old burnt exhaust gases the more its able to suck in cleaner fuel to burn. That is a simple way to look at it and not the best way so don't shoot me for not completely going over it.

www.racerwalsh.com, I think. If not them, then try Esslinger Racing.
