CAI & Snake Oil whats the diffrence

Ok Jim may be a bit of a cantankerous old C&*( and Glenn has a personality and passion whch I like and respect but all this crap about CAI is really all about fleecing the naive wannabe racer for some cheap plastic who can't afford real power producing mods isn't it?

Even though he will sell his own version even Jim will admit it does SFA on a six with less than 140rwkw and I can tell you thats truse for me too.

All the big science BS hasn't impressed me much and I have tried a few times to see what I could do with it myself but pre throttle body power gains are in the snake oil basket for me.

The whole CAI business deserves some serious unmodifed scrutiny moderators.

Even if God told me it works and showed me his dyno sheet I would question it.
