Think where I wrote “compensation” meant if intake detected more or less air flow would adjust fuel delivery pulse duration lean or generous. But still, looking at any aspect of larger CAI or even TB has effect of engine performance. Not saying enough to notice now but overall smoothness- running a bit better. Not worth the $$$.
Always was for more power you’d go with a tunnel ram (today’s TB spacer?) and more gas and air, within reason. Now nothing ever noted with dyno 🦕 (dino came up) tests if ram air (speed) would change air flow delivery? I say absolutely like going to “high” with a cooling fan from low speed… dynoed the car is strapped down, no wind tunnel even, what’s next…
Always go back to this idea with the masses?
