Halltech cold air
Has anyone seen the performance stats on the new to be released Halltech cold air (the one that mounts in the grille)? I was wondering if it adds any HP

thats what were all waiting for. I already ordered one yet it sounds like its to cool the engine bay ( which makes some power ) over forcing more air to the filter not sure how its gonna work out but I figured I order it anyways.

I doubt that youll see much gain on a dyno,it will be more from feel at higher speeds.Im sure its good for a tenth in the quarter without even seeing it you.Ram air systems work well on all cars.I look forward to getting one as well.Hopefully install wont be to tricky.

Cooler Air=Denser Air=More Power.
The idea is not to force/ram air into the system, but to bring cooler, ambient air into the engine compartment/air intake area. It's the only design thus far, that will be resistant to sucking water into the motor (unless you submarine the entire front end, at least).
You won't see this potential gain in power on a dyno. You will see it on the road @ speed, when air is actually moving into the intake.

the callaway sure is pretty. colored carbon fiber.
Better for this application: optimum rigidity/flexibility, withstands chemical and temperature environment, consistency/repeatability of finished shape, etc.
