Should i go with Short Ram or CAI? I'm in the process of making a CAI but i want to know the advantage and the disavantages (Also for the Short Ram). Like for example wich will be better acceleration or which will be better during the rain, snow. Speeking of rain, i just tried out my CAI in the rain but it lagged more then my regular filter, is that because of the water going in or just that the CAI i made sucks? I need you guy's knowledge.

you dont want water going into the intake because you will Hydrolock the engine, and thats a bad thing... SRI has better acceleration because the air has to travel a lesser distance than a CAI to reach the throttle body and then be combusted... CAI will yeild more power because colder air is denser (containing more oxygen molecules) which intern gives a better air/fuel mix and bigger explosion...they both have downfalls...hope this helps
