Which to choose...more Air or Corn?

OVRKLL · 03-13-2020, 07:06 PM

For those of you that have done one or the other, or even both at different times, which do you think is the best bang for the buck, and why?

Roto Fab CAI
E85 Sensor

I have Kooks headers with High Flow CATS, Soler TB and CAT back AWE non resonated exhaust system with secondary CAT delete.

Currently I can only purchase one of these, so just wanted to see what others did first.
The car will be tuned once installed, and I hoping to eventually have both.

e85 hands down

30ish HP and cooler burn
Cold air maybe 15+HP with your mods

I did the RF 1st and E85 last. I’d do the E85 all day over the RF. This is because it’s the best gain for the money plus you won’t have to deal with dirty tips. However, I have a question, is ported IM in your future plans?

Yes, providing I can get in touch with Pray when the time comes...since I do not have a fb account.
I assume that's where the RF might be better huh?
Thank you for your input!

If you have E85 available near you, hands down E85. Just get a better breathable performance filter and pop it in there. The Roto Fab does help a little and sounds better then the stock box.

Yes, I have several stations that have E85, and as for the CAI, I'm not too concern about sound...my exhaust takes care of that, but looking more for performance. These CAI are expensive, and the hp is low, so I am leaning towards the E85.
Thank you for your advice/suggestions!

E85 for sure. Just know you need a tune with it.

DorkMissile · 03-14-2020, 06:02 AM

By far E85 - but work with a reputable tuner that is known for E85 tunes. All the tuners can get it to run on E85, but there are few that know not just how to get the most out of it, but make the engine most "happy" on it.

CAI, if it adds any power, it is just peak power. E85 will give you torque everywhere

E85 all day

More air or corn? Both...duh!

Ok, ok... E85 first, then CAI.

kropscamaro16 · 04-03-2020, 02:09 PM

why not both?

Z0Tex · 04-03-2020, 05:29 PM

If you cant do both at once, then do corn first. There are much bigger gains to be had on the engine liquor.
