This is far from scientific, but I went to the track today to help a friend and decided to bring my car. My car is mostly stock. Has gears, mufflers and our CAI/Tune. It's also an auto. Had it to the track right after I got it. It was the same as it is now except with a different CAI. Best was a 13.8@101. That was on stock tires, full gas tank, right off the street.
Went today with only changes being my 19" wheels with Kuhmo tires, out CAI, some tranny tuning changes and probably a little better weather. Went 13.24@103.8 Again, this was right off the street. I don't even think I checked the air pressure. Car hooked pretty good considering the tires. Best was a 1.94.

For those of you who are being skeptical, let me just say that its understandable to question a new product. Trying to put myself in your shoes (looking from the outside in) i would be pretty impressed with the data and information proven so far! I work at MD and i have seen this project from its inception. Its people like Ken who have vision and the determination to take on such a project. I'm proud to say i work where there are people that care about selling, installing and creating quality products.

kenb, there always seems to be someone who comes and throws a wrench into a sincere thread.
i for one is seriously considering your unit. your data seems to make sense.
thanks kenb..

It depends on what kind of dryer sheet you use. Snuggle or Downy sheets are recommended. Also, ensure the lint-filter is always clean for optimal results. Your mom would know because she probably still does your laundry.

The goal with our intake was to at least match the best horsepower numbers out there while not sacrificing torque and maintaining good laminar airflow in all areas.

I just placed my order for Ken's CAI.
I have been waiting awhile to purchase one due to similarities among all of them, and none stuck out as one I would use or why. I am glad a person of Kens ability has stepped up and "entered the market". It is a truly custom piece( where are you going to find custom fabrication for $280?) and a good looking unit IMHO. I know people will ask where I got it from when they see it.
If anyone out there has doubts, by all means, go elsewhere. If a proven tuner of Ken's ability is not enough for you,by all means go elsewhere. but I on the otherhand will be proud to know I have something not many other owners with CAI's have.
Again, those in doubt, go elsewhere. I'm sure someone else will give you a placebo and take your money to make you happy.
But please don't bash someone for something you don't appreciate.

What do you think about this heat shield that was in the other post?
Do you see any advantages over any of the others or the one your fabricating for ours? You think its possible to modify the one your planning on releasing with our CAI? It appears this one is molded, but is there more air going into it without adding Ram-Air?
Also does K&N have a Blue filter? Just thought I'd ask...

I think it's ok. It's a bit big and commands alot of attention. The way they made it, it forces you to put that S bend in the pipe which I think is not the best. While I think the heat shield is important, I don't really think one of that size and design is necessary.
I don't think K&N makes a blue filter. I could try and source out the same type filter in blue for you and put it in the kit, but I choose K&N because I think it's the best filter.
