then check everything ... and u'll see it's basically apples and oranges u are trying to compare ...

FYI ... cai's make power on stock cars or untouched motorwise ... people don't like them cuz of the extra baggage they come with (bog, rich/lean, etc)... it's basically a trade off somewhat ...

in the order of my last dyno .. the CAI was last thing i did and did nothing power after the mods i already had on there....

see the difference?
So essentially, you're saying that if you add the TB spacer & gaskets and the IMG, all of which would total up $-wise to significantly less than the Injen CAI, they will produce hp gains which cannot be improved upon with a CAI.

Being that your sedan and civic have the exact same engine, I don't see how it's "apples and oranges," nor how you could possibly give such a gleaming review of this intake from your ass dyno on a different car when your previous dynos showed that for $/hp, the spacer/gaskets are a better choice. If you had another dyno that showed some more numbers, you could easily prove me wrong... so there's your incentive.
