He claims a dual system in my CAI would achieve a 5% hp gain. That's not a huge increase, but every little bit helps with this car...

I told him I was having a dyno run at Buttonwillow in the next few weeks and would get a baseline w/o his system, then install and re-dyno at the same facility. If I did not achieve the gains in HP he would take the system back and refund the cost... I didn't bother asking him for a demo kit, afterall, he's a small shop and surely needs the money...

I'll keep you guys posted...
Hey HDDP, did they say anything about the size of wire recommended? A #4 wire is really large but flexible welding cable or Hypralon will handle the load at a much smaller wire size such as a #6 or #8. I would have to look my welding cable table to find out the exact size for sure.
