    Yes they are well-made at the factory. I'd go back to a stock aircleaner and invest in a split second MAF setup, new O2 sensor, and injectors (and maybe a head job. It's always worth getting one of those)

    I love it.

    I'm thinking about setting my stock alarm a half hour earlier for a sweet performance upgrade.

    Default Thanks for chiming in. Hadn't heard from you in a while.

    I didn't think you were listening anymore and was wondering if anyone else tried the cams. I've been watching this board since day one and can't remember anyone else but you trying the M3 cams. What would you say the HP increase was from the CAM & chip combo?

    Board has changed over the years.

    CAI and KN Filters have 1/3 the surface area of the stock filter - how does that improve performance?. The filter area for stock Airbox is like 100 sq inches. With a CAI and KN you are restricting the airflow to the engine - I dont get it. Some one splain me. - JT
