For those of you with 98'+ fbodies that come stock with the intake lids, is it more beneficial to use something like the SLP CAI vs. the traditional Whisper lids?
I already did a search and couldn't find anything.
I currently have the Whisper lid with FTRA mod, and was wondering if SLP CAI would be a better set-up?
If you look at the power numbers from 95+ 3.8's, they're all the same. Take a 98+ panel filter and fold it into a conical shape. It's about the exact size as a KN cone that comes with the FIPK. Therefore, it flows the same amount of air.
Also, the airflow with a lid is MUCH more direct than the 95-97 models. I played around with rigging a 95-97 intake on my 2000, and the whisper lid/filter/FTRA setup is MUCH more beneficial. quite a bit faster...
I've heard that one is better for low end than the other. I did a search and someone said that FTRA doesn't pick up until 60+ mph while the CAI (one listed for my car) was better all around and in lower rmps/speeds.
I drive in town/city a lot and need something more for lower end, and highway passing (damn old people driving so slow ;) )
I ALSO heard they're the same and that FTRA "picks up" sooner than 60. I'm confused and am CONVINCED that that the SEARCH button is evil [img]graemlins/evilgrin.gif[/img] ;) )

don't raise the airbox with ram air, you'll lose the ram air effect.
you can do the free ram air until you get the time/money to do the ftra kit.
you notice the FRA, but you REALLY notice the FTRA
Is there an intake that works better at lower end? I know the faster you're going the more air,blah blah yeah, but is there something more effictive down low too?
