I'm sure there are more threads about BA CAI's than anything else, including 4490 vs. 4495 Paccies and underdrive threads.

"Whats the best CAI for my BA?", "whats the dimensions of the cutout for the lower CAI?" or "Look at my CAI!"

Good stuff. But the last one should be... "Something's wrong with my blower, I'm only getting 1100rwkw with 18psi"

Then the in-fighting restarts for the nth time.

After reading this thread it reminded me of an old article in a car craft mag. I don't have a scanner so I took a photo of it. You can't read it so i'll post up a few funny comments. If you have the mag than sorry to bore u but its hilarious and abit biased. If it doesn't belong here than delete it thanks.
[IMG][/IMG]
US: Stickers for contingency
THEM: Stickers for extra horsepower

US: Keeping a low profile and letting e.t.'s tell the story
THEM: Hoping the outrageous body kit will distract anyone from discussing e.t.'s

US: Tall spindle conversion for better camber gain and tire wear
THEM: Lowereing 3 inches and ruining tires with 4 degrees of negative camber

US: Sideways into third gear
THEM: Sideways to avoid high-centering on a speed bump

US: Boost gauge on a blown car, nitrous gauge on a squeezed car
THEM: Both gauges on a normally aspirated car

US: 500 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm
THEM: 50 lb-ft of torque at 35,000 rpm

US: Installing a 12 point cage after breaking into the 10's
THEM: Installing a 12 point cage for more places to mount gauges

US: Annoying blind spot caused by the cowl induction hood
THEM: Annoying blind spots caused by limo-tinted windows and triple deck rear wing

US: Buying an aftermarket shifter for shorter throws
THEM: Buying an aftermarket shifter for lighter knob

US: Feeling the car shake from a lumpy cam
THEM: Feeling the car shake from the booming bass

Hope thats not too long. There's more on the other page. But I thought It was very clever.
