Cold Air VS Short Ram Intakes... help?

SRI is much more reasonable on normal days. The chance of a CAI sucking up water is very low unless you drive through puddles that are bumper height. On our engines you may get .5-1.5 hp more out of the CAI, but it is so negligible that you will not notice anything. I use a SRI with a heat shield to the engine heat s the air is as cool as it's gonna be.

Steve is pretty much dead on. Horse power will go up but nothing noticable. You might hear the intake and think your faster/more powerfull but nope, its just the sound.

On the off chance that you do suck up water and your engine hydrolocks, dont try cranking it right away. Drain all the oil which should have water.
