Hey Rob,

I'm looking at your site making a wish list. Looking at the cfm the DCAI, tweeked stock intake manifolds, ported t coated y pipe flow; it looks like the weak links in the intake system are the TB (any idea what the stock TB will flow?) and the NW y pipe.

If the ported y pipe will only flow 332 cfm, then why/how do you get a sizable performance increase with the tweeked manifolds since the stock manifolds already flow more than the y pipe will allow?

Right now I'm running the single CAI. If I did upgrade to the DCAI, the tweeked intakes, and ported y pipe how much HP and Torque do you estimate this would add? BTW, I have a 65mm pulley.

Also, If I made this upgrade with a EC re-tune, do you think the stock fuel system would be able to accomplish proper AF ratio's?

Thanks
