    The mav is gone but i'm still here!

    funny thing it said it was going to rain but in the last two months i've only gotten two days of rain... it in was less than an inch:hmmm:

    the Tbird has no problem in the puddles with the CAI...it does have a pre filter on it though (y)

    After all this is said and done, I've seen magazine articles where they tested various setups and none made enough extra power to justify the cost. If you're going to do it, do it for the looks alone. Me personally ? I think the carb hat/EFI cold air tube setup on a carbed motor looks retarded.

    Do it the way the factory did. The filter sits higher in the air cleaner base. If water enters the air cleaner it sits in the bottom of the air cleaner below the filter and drains out through a small hole. That is the way the shaker on my Mach 1 works.
