Intake Power Loss

[TuckerTravis]

Is it possible I could have lost some power by putting in CAI? Doesn't feel as quick as it did with stock intake.

Which one did you instal?

 

[Wheela]

yes which one did you put on? also make sure it is on correctly, and on top of that to maximize your CAI id suggest getting a tuner, perhaps a sct x3 from good ol Mike@5star.

It's a k&n. It sounds great but it doesn't feel like it increased horsepower and torque like it said it should. And I'm pretty sure I installed it correctly. Followed the directions and took my time.

It might take a little time for the ECU to recalibrate for the extra air intake and adjust to the new air/fuel ratio. But also make sure everything is connected properly.

Your not going to be able to feel a difference in power, sorry.

Yeah I kinda figured that but it feels more sluggish in away now that the k&n is in there.

Well when I installed my Airaid intake system I disconnected the battery then immediately did some highway driving after the battery sat disconnected for about ehh 2 hours. I instantly felt a power increase with better throttle response and fuel economy! I think the problem with the k&n intake is that it is such a big system the ecu has trouble reprogramming because of the huge high flow filter and intake tube. I would suggest a tuner and possibly exhaust to get the most out of the k&n. I guess it wasnt designed to be used with the stock tune like the airaid.

Right, I have just the Airraid CAI, and i feel a very slight increase, but more throttle response, that's about it.

With the Roush I most definitely got a better throttle response
