whatever happened to the dual cai you were building? any chance you have a y splitter for sale?

 

Yes... yes... have a couple maybe? :P

 

Just bought it!

I've got a stupid question... how does rain NOT affect these CAI setups? I'm interested in the dual, but that is a major concern...

 

If anything, rain will cool the intake charge. If you're worried about the motor seizing from hydrolock, the filter is 3' off the ground, so you'd have to be in standing water up to the top of your tires. Even then, I think it would only stall the motor because there is a 12" elevation from the front grill area where the filter is to the throttle body at the back of the motor. If you were in water that deep, I imagine the car would be floating...

 

I'm not talking about being 5 ft deep in water & hydrolock...

However, the grill forces air/water at the filter in that location. Once it has absorbed water won't that prevent free flow of air?

 

Man I'd love a Y pipe!!! how much?

 

No it doesn't and as added protection you can purchase a waterproof sock to fit around the air filter.
It stops water and allows air to freely flow right through.
Contact Rob at needswings.com if you need more info.

 

A waterproof sock? Doesn't that negate the purpose of the sock in the first place?

(gratuitous sock reference...)

 

Tony, is that you???....................

 

Does this really add 20 more horses? To say the least I'm a little be skeptical. (remember I've been gone for two years)

 

Can't speak for the SRT6, but it usually takes more than 20 hp to lower your 1/4 mile times by nearly 1/2 a second in a NA car, and that's what the Needswings CAI does.

 

I thought we already had cai. Isn't it fed through the front right into the supercharger? Maybe I just don't understand. I guess a tune isn't required since it's not forcing anymore air in.

 

small, cramped, restricted factory CAI. This is an open, visually pleasing, 3" CAI. More AIR=More POWER

 

Actually needswings only claims about 20hp gain on their single CAI if I remember correctly...

Generally, it's not the first 1/2 second you are trying to shave off your 1/4mile time that is hard... its trying to shave off that last 1/10 of a second in the 1/4 mile that gets quite costly and not quite as rewarding.

 

Personally, if shaving 1/2 a second off my 1/4 mile time was important to me, I wouldn't care where I lost it. I just think it takes more than 20 HP to lose a 1/2 a second in the 1/4. But it seems Needswings "single" intake still accomplishes it.

 

So you're indifferent between gutting everything out from your interior including the passenger seat and installing a intake and ecu flash.... Yeah, ok.

 

He said he didn't care WHERE on the 1/4 mile he lost it, not HOW he lost it.

 

I seem to run in the rain everytime we go to the Dragon meet. I really don't like the rain, but the dual from needswings works just fine....they are K&N filters and are all but water proof. You could take one off after a run in the rain, and not see one drop of water on the inside...the sock they make are more for the off roaders, keep heavy mud and debree out...but you can run them on your car without a problem as well....the cai, is the 1st mod you would want to do, and probably the most rewarding. As for those who drag race, we will all always be searching for another 1/10th off our times no matter how fast we get. It's just the motorhead in us, never satisfied with our times...need to go faster quicker....lol
