Intake system opinons

[Alan Pritchard]

Ah, that does not apply to our audis, the car's in the fast and the furious
have 10+ gears......also they have a "magic" engine. When drag racing they
have the ability to go to a lower gear to gain more acceleration ;)
The intake does sound like a good idea for dragging, just cant figure out
what it is worth in real worl performance.

Well, presumably, a denser charge allowing more power.  Sound smore like 
something short term, though, like for parts of a race or a drag race. 
I guess that depends on how long a cylinder of CO2 lasts.  Seems a bit 
silly for a street car.

I did watch the Fast & Furious surfer flick, however, and apparently, if 
you push your manifold temps too high, your diamond-plate floorboards 
will fall off the car.  So be careful out there!
