    Sheff, Slow,
    ~24 MPH...

    My comment was intended specifically to describe CAI vs HAI setups on the 3800 S/C platform.

    Maybe there is a benefit to using 8 feet of pipe to feed a little 1.6L some cooler air, but not for us. Most boosted and large displacement engines tend to prefer shorter, larger-diameter intakes. If the air coming in happens to be cool, great. Otherwise less flow restriction trumps cooler air from a long pipe.

    That's the speed of a European swallow. Now do African!
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    The winter of 1932 was so cold that Niagara Falls froze completely solid.

    "Stewardesses" is the longest word typed with only the left hand...

    "lollipop" with your right.

    The average person's left hand does 56% of the typing.

    A stock intake setup on a 3.0 pully setup WILL cause a loss of boost. It just cant move enough air.... Changed my buddies over to an open cone and suddenly he has another psi of boost....

    INB4: clogged filter blah blah blah
