If your dyno numbers and scantool figures are correct or the one above or many more like it out there doesn't really matter. You have already made up your mind what you are going to believe and I "know" that my car performs well with the Injen Cai. So whatever you say wont have any bearing on the way I feel about the Injen Cai.
So keep your car stock and be happy just don't be surprised that someday you will get your doors blown off by a proud Si owner with an Injen Cai  |
You found one anomalous dyno sheet that is counter to the vast majority. The exceptions don't disprove the rule. You can chose to believe the 5% of dyno sheets that say one thing, but I'll stick with the 95% with better documentation that say another.
My car is by no means staying stock. Both myself and a friend bought Si's to travel around the south to racetracks. We both also run in POC and PCA events, myself with a Cayman S and he has a 996 GT3. I am just tired of trailering the P car around and to be honest it would hurt to write it off on the track where the Si won't.
The intake to me is really the only iffy part of the equation. A race header paired with a good exhaust incontrovertibly sees HP gains especially paired with the Hondata reflash so I am definitely going that route.
For the intake I will probably end up dyno testing a CAI anyway, but I will also test my own ram-air setup by removing the intake resonator box and using a duct from the fog lamp cutout connected via tubing to the downpipe that normally goes into the resonator. The only way to really test ram air will be via my GPS Racepak2. I may also try the BMC filter with a ram air setup that I outlined in the "F1 Intake" thread.
For braking we will use cryo-treated rotors all around, Carbotech ceramic pads, Goodridge lines, Motul RBF600 and a ducting system to the dust shields also for the front brakes from under the car using NACA ducts.
We will be using Enkei RPF-1 race wheels (light, strong, and cheap) with shaved Toyo RA-1's.
Inside will see a Sparco Evo2 seat (yeah I am a big boy, wtf am I supposed to do about that?) and a custom half cage with a Schroth 6pt to keep my snugly in place.
Suspension is still a bit up in the air at this point.
I'm just trying to show this has nothing to do with trying to save money or maintain the warranty. It's simply about what works and what does not.
