Vortex Owners
A recent thread on the pros and cons of MAF screen removal drew a number of responses from folks that had installed the Vortex CAI. I've seen recent discussion on CAIs offered by LPE and Vararam but not much on the Vortex. If you have a Vortex CAI can you please comment on your observations as far as 1) performance - either dyno and or quarter mile, 2) drivability, and 3) gas mileage. Thanks!

Just responded to your PM.
The best intake out there.....Vortex + BB Bullets and the car is an Animal. I just love it when the nose comes up when I punch it

I would say between the 2 mods, I've gotten 40+hp to the wheels
