well i spoke to a mechanic friend that could do the work for me, and he stated that every mod has a cost to the engine, ie, now that more air is introduced the engine may run hotter and cause a bit more wear and tear, he also stated that more air with same fuel mixture = a lean mix, i really dont race my car, im just looking for better mpg and now im not sure if this(intake) is the way to go.
The intake will not make your car run lean. Actually your computer will try to compensate for the air coming in and you will run rich. At least that is what I have seen on almost every Contour dyno (with mods).
