I would think warmer air wouldn't really matter ...

Rep Power: 0 ok my car seems to run better with a fipkII i used to have a AEM CAi
and i also have a a/f ratio gauge . anyway with the cai the a/f gauge always read lean but now with a sri it reads stoich right on the middle its like the cai gives too little of gas and too much air but the sri seemed to even it out . But i have a lx so maybe the ex would adjust differently due to the VTEC . but how would that be they should be the same air volume right ? Maybe the filter has something to do with it?

Rep Power: 0 could be but i think im going to have to agree with you dude hothondacivic02 bcuz i was talking to this dude about the CAI and he was like the best thing to do is get a fuel psi regulator (if i remember right) and everytime you drive, turn the switch a little more and it adds a little more fuel to the ratio. but this is with the CAI form the guy told me
