Is there any one thing that does better at reducing lag than the other (i.e. CAI, tune, down pipe, etc).

When pulling from a dead stop does it harm anything by holding the brake and increasing RPM before launch (2500, no tire spin), this seems to get me out of the hole quicker.

Thanks in advance.........please be gentle.
There is never a quick fix to my opinion but each fix help some. I noticed the biggest difference with the catless Downpipe. Although i had a cold air intake prior to doing the catless DP. They both help and work well together.... i eventually did throttle body and charge pipe. That helped a little but the biggest difference now is going to be the tune . Until then each mods helps some . Im also getting the e85 flex fluel conversion which is going to make a night and day difference... like i said before there is no quick fix but catless DP and intake made a noticable difference to my opinion
