I just ordered a FIPK to test against my JLT intakes!!!
- Thread starter Tucker
- Start date
Subscribing, I have the western motorsports CAI in the fender, and want to get a RWTD tune, but James recommends a straight shot like the FIPK or Steeda.
are you actually going to post it if the k&n beats yours out. That would be buisness suicide.

As I said in the first post, Yes I will. I don't think this will be such a bad thing if there is a difference.
I did get it on Thurdays.
Just looking at the thing tells me if there is a difference in the FIPK's favor it won't be much. Then factor in my price and color option, I think I will still be selling them.
I will be testing on my car this coming week and the stocker the following week.

The JLT CAI's true advantage is getting air from outside the engine compartment. One test you may consider is simulating a typical stoplight encounter.
Outside fan off,
idle the car for a minute,
turn the fan on and start the pull at the same time.
Just some thoughts.

Yes, the 2 products do work together
I have a pic if anyone wants to resize it for me.....-Mike
Mike send it to me at [email protected] and I will resize it and post it.
This should be interesting as I have a few buddies with 03 Cobras who use the FIPK while I have the JLT true cold air. I just finished my buildup and have not dynoed mine yet but I have noticed the air charge temps are about 10-15 degrees lower than when I was running a straight shot Powerstack or the stock airbox with a KN drop in filter. My buildup includes a 2.75 pulley and idler, Predator tune, JLT true cold air intake, Accufab Throttle Body, Magnaflow X pipe w cats, and a 3" MAC catback. My money is on the JLT.:beer:

Thanks for the confidence guys.
As far as testing, doing the 2 cars, about 8-12 pulls each and the time needed to swap everything over this will cost me about $500 or more, including the new FIPK. I don't own a dyno shop, so I need to pay just like everyone else. I sure this works in my favor or I'm :kaboom:
This will be a learning experiance!

If not, take the data and start working on JLT CAI version II.
Isn't the K&N version II anyway?
*IF* you see any gains from the FIPK over yours, I'd bet it is the belled inlet right before the MAF. From what I have read and seen, they can make a large difference in inlet flow. All you have to do is see a pic of the large inlet on the fast turbo cars and you see there must be *something* to it!
Thats is why I am interested in your RAI for use with my FIPK... I'd like to keep that part of it!
Maybe V 2.0 of the JLT CAI could incorporate a bell and appropriate filter all tucked into the fender (I've thought of trying your CAI with my FIPK parts, but I'm afraid the filter is too large)... bet that would kick some ass!
Good luck, and it's research like this that will keep us getting faster and faster!

I have a customer using both the CAI and FIPK together now.
I do think the K&N trick is the bell insert, but my S&B filters have this right in the filter. S&B patented this design and is new. I never tested this since my change to these filters. I hope this makes the playing field even or in my favor.
tuned
I'm very much interested in these tests because of the recent high interest in the K&N FIPK.
What he said .. I'm in the market right now
Also .. I hear you have a heat shield setup for your RAI .. do you have any pics? How much does it cost?
As far as your RAI setup with a K&N FIPK ... did any additional work have to be done for this to work?
thanks,
Crowley

I have an MO waiting for you is this is still available. Also looking forward to the results of this intake matchup.
Tucker, I emailed about a mystichrome RAI/CAI setup. Did you get it?
