cai or ram air

[fbodyv6]

what would be better for a '01 firebird v6, a cai or a ram air kit? i'm asking for performance and hp. i'm just asking cause i am planning on putting a ram air kit in my car, and everytime i see someone list thier mods they always have a cai, so was wondering if ram air would be any good.

Re: cai or ram air

why ya gotta be so hard on the guy? i know i didnt even understand how to word what i was searchin for when i first joined up..

someone with a Firebird may know better than i, but my .02 would be if you already have the R/A hood, or dont mind droppin the money for it, then i'd go with R/A...and if ur talkin one of those under-the-front-end type R/A units...i'm not sure how well those flow...

if ur usin stock hood: go with the CAI...
if u got the money: R/A all the way...

I have done both. I would say whisper lid with a ram air kit is much better. The CAI depending on its location can sometimes suck up hot air from the engine. While the Lid with r/a picks up cool air.

hey i gotta regulate, these intake threads piss me off, people must not realize that there is hardly a difference from one intake setup to another when we are talking about a v6 f-body. they think its going to be like a 15rwhp increase if the find just the right one......NOT THE CASE.

any, ANY aftermarket intake will net you in the ball park of 0-6 rwhp

Uhhh if it picks up hot air its not a CAI then.

Ram air and CAI are the same thing under 150 mph. Someone close this thread please.
