It would seem to me that 90 degree air from outside would be a better starting point than the 120 degree engine bay air.
So there you go; mod the stock system for $130 or a new $450 NW unit or design / make your own 3" pipe for around $250.
Without an ECU tune - pulling more air will lean your Air/Fuel ratio out at WOT with the factory fuel maps.
I like the results posted by Steve H and NW becouse both have had their ECU's tuned along with the intake mods.
Would still like to see dyno results from all the others.
