tried a search, but the system kept giving me a failure, so is anyone using this system?? And what are the thoughts.

Thanks,

I don't think anyone has reported on the K&N system on this forum yet. I am not positive, but I think they advertise that a tune is not necessary with their kit. That didn't seem correct from what we see from the other CAIs. The only ones I have seen on this forum are the JLT (using a couple different tunes I think) and Steeda. I am waiting for C&L to deliver mine! I am told pretty soon!

You might try searching over on StangsUnleashed!

There have been a few tests done on the K&N CAI by a few tuners on a few forums.

Basically - the CAI IS a good one. Flows well.

HOWEVER... (and this is a BIG however) they all showed a VERY LEAN situation when running just the CAI without a tune. LEAN = very bad for SC engines!!

If you're going to get this - make sure you get a tune for it as well. VMP and Evolution have very good tunes that give good power and keep everything within safe operating range (especially the air/fuel ratios).

I currently run one on my car, works great, makes good power, same gains as all the other CAIs out there, you just need to tune it.

Mine is the K&N. Made 521hp with a tune and axlebacks. As many stated here, It was very very lean on the first run. On/off throttle changes at low RPM resulted in shudder and even cut-off at very low rpm due to fuel trim stuff that I do not know everything about. After the tune though, smooth as silk.

They tuned one with a JLT couple weeks ago and made 520hp. Comparable to that peice maybe...
