cai help
#11
wow all of this has been really helpful lol i love this forum thanks guys. i might go with the spectre considering its still not very expensive and i might as well not get the cheapest one i can find, lol.. a few more things though, what am i going to notice right away after putting a cai on, like sound, performance, acceleration, etc. wise? and are there any drawbacks to a cai? and will all my sensors and whatnot still function properly? sorry if im in need of a lot of help i just dont want to hurt my blaze and am nervous to change things lol

^^ Moving the IAT sensor and insulating the airbox reduced my IAT temps and you can see that timing at idle is advanced a bit.
You should be able to hear the CAI up to about 3000rpm is what I hear most people say. Generally the whole engine will feel a tad more peppy since it doesn't have to pull as hard to bring air in.

one last thing and ill stop bugging you guys, haha. ive heard about water getting into the engine with a cai? does this really happen? btw i have a 2wd so i wont drive through a pond but sometime puddles splash up over the hood would that hydrolock me engine

Puddles splashing on the hood won't hydrolock it. You'd only have problems crossing rivers where the water comes up a good bit.

alright i think ill be good then. thanks for all the help guys

On OBDII vehicles at least, the hotter the intake air temp, the more it backs off ignition timing since hot air is more susceptible to pinging.
