af or open funel

[j954drgsr]

which will get me to the 1/4 mile faster, cai with air filter or open funel. to much air at low rpm will sacrafice tourq but will it make up for my high end?

a well designed intake system has been dyno proven to make more power than open throttle body.

your saying open throttle body or open cia intake tube. i have a funel that i can replace the air filter with. i see lately alot of high hp engines been using this method.

 

[reckedracing]

so you're asking which is better, air box or no air box?

which one allows more air flow with less restriction...?

and this was rhetorical... the cone will allow more air flow...

a CAI is even better because it sources air from outside the hot engine bay...

 

[j954drgsr]

i word it wrong so ill try again. injen cai w/air filter or injen cai w/open funel.

open funnel means what exactly??
sounds like you;re asking air filter or no air filter...

yes, air filter or no air filter but in place with a open funel type over the intake tube. running the cai tube alone without an air filter will create air velocity problem so i have a adapter funel to be in place of the injen air filter which is an like an air horn design. which will work better at the track? i have tried this on the street the other day but still not sure which to use.

its such a small difference in power that you're better off just going with the filter so you don't get shit in your engine.

a funnel? like take a big side and force it into a little side? you'll lose power.

just run the injen intake as it came in the box, air filter and all.

i agree leave it how it comes

 

[ripperbone]

i would use a filter

thanks for your help everyone. i will go with the filter.
