I live in TX and it gets pretty hot here, it seemed to run a little cooler after it but I'm not sure it there are any real gains other than that. Its supposed to give 4 rwhp but we all know not to believe what most power adders like this are "supposed to give."

I would say it's not worth the trouble unless you have to move the throttle body for a FI application, then it's just easier to connect the two tubes rather than extending them to the tb.

You do not gain any real HP by doing it. The PCM has firmware to look for it and compensate for it a idle and the amount of cooling on a 90 deg day going 70 mph is zero. More cyber HP than anything.

not to get off the topic, but i was skeptic about the ram air mod as welll.... (free ram air) my friend has a mitsubishi evolution... and before i did the mod, and new iar filter... i lost to him by a car and a half from a 40 mph roll in 2nd
aferr the mod.. i was beating him by a car/car and a half... if you dont believe me go i will get him to agree to me that this is correct... every little mood to the ls1 helps greatly.... IMPO
it shows on the streets....
i havent done this mod yet... but maybe i will.. if somone can link me to a write-up.... then i will report back with info on performance specs when i take on the evo again!
Thanks
