Which one of these (CAI) or (SRI) gives you better acceleration and which one gives you more speed?

 

There is already a thread on this. It's the FIRST topic in all capitol letters in the headers, intake , & Exhaust thread...................

 

There really is no noticeable difference. Either one will MAYBE give you 1-3 hp.

 

sri is sucking in hot air and cai is cold air. sri gives better throtle response i think but cai has more hp gains

 

Yeah i just realized that about 5 mins after i posted this damn thread. I just couldn't figure out how to delete this thread so i just let it be, but i knew at least one person was gona point this out.[8D]

 

Sorry if i was mean in my post but people ask this question every day there has to be like 50 threads on it lol. But IMO short ram has a better throttle response so if I was into autocross I think it would be better for that and a cold air is better for higher rpm power top speed wise because of the colder air. I have no experience with a CAI but that's what i read everyday.

 

what viper said is true but i also think that if your already running, i mean the vehicle is already moving, then your SRI would basically be also like the CAI cuz cooler air is already coming to your engine bay..i guess it wouldnt be as cold as CAI but you got the best of both world IMO...throttle response + colder air when moving..

 

get a cold air intake and wrap it in a heat sheild.

 

doesnt that defeat the purpose of CAI?? i think u mean SRI...SRI u wrap it with heat shield and its gonna bring more cooler air...

 

no, get a cold air intake and wrap the whole pipe. it will keep the engine from heating up the pipe, which heats the air. try it, it works
