well.. i took out my injen cold air extension last night off of my S14..   after the last incident of hydro locking during the last raining season.. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/withstupid.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':withstupid:'>  i decided to take a little precaution and go back to short ram mode..  BIG MISTAKE!

well  needless to say im pretty angry at the car now.  it feels..  extremely slow..   <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cry.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'>  and ill tell you how i notice the difference..

engine revs slower..  most notible around 3.2k rpm..  it just takes a while longer now to rev up to about 4.3k..  

the loss of pull i used to have after 3.7k..

on the freeway i could instantly go from 70 mph to 80 mph in 5th gear..  now it takes so long..

overall it just feels not so sexy..

i believe the total power may be the same.. but the power band is a lot narrower..  and higher up in the rpm band..

with the extension my car will start kicking at around 3.3k rpm..  now it just feels like a little push..  

needless to say.. i think i might just put the extension back on..  if i blow the motor..  oh well im swapping it anyway..
