thanks guys for the help. Now any suggestions for which CAI to buy?

Mugen (if you don't mind cutting the hood a bit)
Comptech (if you don't mind the vibration around 5K rpm)
AEM/INJEN (if don't mind drill holes at the panel and water suck-into-engine problem, note# bypass valve will lose some power)
Spoon/IDi (if you don't mind it will add weight instead of losing weight)

For all others ( if you don't mind lose some horsepower)

Best bang for the buck:

1. Insulate top of radiator, inside of airbox, and intake tube. Insulate outside of intake to airbox. Use "reflectix" aluminum foil/bubble insulation obtainable at Orchard supply. Less than $5.

2. Take off access plate to a/c service in front of radiator. This lets in substantially more outside air into engine compartment. Cool outside air hits inside hood configuration and is forced toward air intake of air box. With reflectix insulation on top of radiator, outside air remains cool.

These two mods avoid the heat penalty experienced. Engine will run cooler and smoother. "Anchor drag" after stop in warm weather is avoided. Avoidance of heat loss equals more effective hp.
