2 e-rams make more power as is dyno proven on engines, especialy bigger ones(5L and above), so it goes to reason that two on a smaller engine will help even more. I plan on doing exhaust also, and one day a turbo. I want the most from the engine and the e-rams can be used with a turbo as well as an upgraded exhaust, so why not do it all? I plan on spending more than $300 on my car to make it fast, so it's not like I have to pick what I want to do.

Also, if the air velocity in the CAI is xx and the maximum air velocity the e-ram can generate (yy) is less than xx, all you're doing is lowering air velocity and lowering total air volume. Moving air doesn't matter if it doesn't pressurize.

If you are going to get a 200+HP turbo kit for SURE, do us all a favor and forget the eRam. BTW you'll want 2.5" piping then not 2.25"...

I can wave a piece of paper and move air. Certainly not enough to put a charge into your intake. The e-ram only puts out a hair under 1psi. That's not a lot. Enough to notice a bit? sure. All I'm saying is don't judge the thing by how many CFM it puts out.

CFM does NOT = PSI.
They are two different types of measurement.
