I am thinking of hooking up a leaf blower to the throttle body so I can get some major HP, what do you think? I will wire it to my battery, take off my hood, and snap the blower in place? hahahah. Kinda off topic, but since we are talking about intakes, this is my idea.

There is some good tips on that site, however from this site i am getting mixed reviews of intakes. Some say they have great benefits while others say, they loose too much low end torque.

On our cars, an air intake won't do much. You'll lose low end and gain a few hp top end. It's not worht it for the noise. Other cars, however, show HUGE gains with just an intake.

To put it to you plainly, you will gain some nice sound. thats about it. But in all honesty, you might gain 1-2 HP, if you are lucky.

I dont hate my intake but I dont think it did a whole lot. Maybe a little more up top but I never tried a drop in like a k&n or anything
