Very nice Mark..
Would it be worth building an airbox for your K&N with some big bore cool air ducting? Perhaps dropping IAT maybe 10-20 degrees?? Every little bit might help.

The biggest thing is getting a larger filter on there. Brad Noon showed me how he did it on his at SZ so as soon as K&N sends me the correct filter that I ordered I will get that installed.
I will say however, that there are plans in the works to completely change the supercharger intake to get cooler air and more of it.

Good set up Mark and just to add info...Most of these systems were around in the 70's when we all wanted 12:1 CR's!!!At that time washer motors were used and a 'throttle kicker' electric switch.Another spin off is 'steam' injection where the water is fed through copper heating coils around the exhaust manifold(s),does the same job but with superheated steam/water vapour.On a 'stock' vehicle either system would let you run with more ignition advance and give more power.Most of the 70's set ups could run 6-10 degrees more max advance than stock without any det...just my 10 cents!

According to these people, it is done for fuel milage and more HP/TQ: AquaTune ... they have a 25% increase in fuel economy GAURENTEE. Only down side to their system is that it is pre set to your car's engine size, and is non adjustable.
