putting on an air intake doesn't hurt the motor like you were told all it is ment for is to increase you air to fuel ratio so there is more air then fuel thus extending you mpg

it will but it will only be able to add so much fuel if you still maintian the factory injection system and seriously increase your intake size the fuel system wont compensate that much for the excesive air so you will still have more air to fuel than regualar when i did mine i got an extra 2.5 mpg on mine and i dont' go through fuel like crazy and i stomp on it alot i get 300+ miles to the tank which i think is pretty good

yea i know that, thats why i put 300+ cause i get more than that but back to the air fuel ratio subject i know about lean and rich if you dont necessarily over due the intake it wont be that lean but it will be at that border between too lean and just a little lean thats were im at with mine it gets great performance and a couple of extra mpg too i agree with you rriddle3 your right about what you said we both have the right info just both of us said it not just one of us!!!![8D]

An intake will have zero affect on the air/fuel ratio. None, zip, nada. You cannot over do an intake, but you certainly can do it wrong.
