if it sucks from the engine bay it's shit!!!!! end of story....no contest..........sounds good and goes shit!
Not saying that all setups are bad......of cause a well set up CAI will work but if you go to all that hassle why not do it properly? Surface area will always win so why go with a POD???? You don't see POD's on GT500, GT1, GT3, V8SC........I wonder why that is?
BTW.....Dad's old road/race going R32GTR was a little of 600hp at the wheels.....standard airbox!....ran 11.1's all day hot or cold! The guy's with POD's were all inconsistent!
