My First Performance mod.......WOW!!
Hi Everyone, a few weeks ago I purchased a halltech Cai from fellow member Oneshot. I just installed it today and all I can say is wow!
I didnt think I would notice that much of a difference just from a cai
The First thing I noticed was the idle was much smoother than before when I started her up. I want to say thank you to Oneshot and also to fellow member Dave68. He doesnt know it but I used his Install Instructions from his web page
I cant begin to imagine what headers, small cam, and a tune would feel like
Btw my vehicle was a bone stock 03 Z

Ohhhh! Yeahhhh! and just wait till you really make it breathe with a SuperCharger
Then you'll really notice a strong throttle response , it all starts with the CAI!
Thanks,Matt
