Hey guys, funny you should ask, I did a post today about the insulation I have on my CAI and the results, see Oooo Oooo Oooo Teacher..........

Still do not have the understandings needed to lift a post, anyone wanna enlighten me??????

Then how do you cook your cheeseburger between heats....

Question: If you have to heat-wrap your CAI - - is it really a CAI?

 

So here's my thoughts on this.... looks like what we need here is some way to influence Mother Nature and get control over the outside air temperature. Wrapping the tubes seems at first to be logical, but not if the outside air is already at a high (+90F) ambient temperature. What is needed (especially in Florida) is to find a totally different source for air. Some nice dry dense cold air. Any takers on where that might come from on a 90 degree day with humidity at 100%? So everyone's been looking forward to the front end, to improve the air flow by locating the air filter up in front of the radiator (CAI logical approach). Here's a different (backward) approach.

You find yourself at a red light, top down and a Rouch Mustang, Vette, Camaro Z28, NSX, SL32 or BillyBob's Backyard Special pulls up next to you. Now it's Show Time. Wouldn't it be nice (somehow) to flip a switch and funnel in some really pure DRY COLD air straight into the engine bay (of course the guy next to you at the same time is flipping on his NOS). So where does cold air come from? Right off the A/C unit, by running a tap line (somehow) from the passenger side air vent (now closed) back to the air intake manifold (or better yet, the Y tube). This Crossfire has one mean A/C unit that can pump out some really cold air in just a few seconds. Even at +90F. So when the light is red, hit the A/C button and put the blower on max #5 for 20 seconds, then when the light turns yellow, flip the A/C off but leave the blower on #5 and then see what happens. You should be drawing in some pretty cold dry dense air, at least long enough to wave bye-bye to the sucker in the next lane.

Outside the box !

 

I think you just got pwned by thermodynamics. Which law, I'm not sure...

Actually, on second thought, no, but it can't be that good either, with the volume of air you'd need to suck in for a 5-10 spurt? And dry air heats up faster too?
