Cai????

Has one with a 94-95 GT experienced hp issues after switching to a CAI? Has anyone found better power using the stock MAF and airbox?

I have a MAC CAI and a 75MM bullet MAF, 3.73, 5-speed and i cannot spin into 2nd gear with Motomaster CRAP tires!

my car dynoed at 203hp but only 259lbs tq????
last year, minus my shortie headers and i made 200hp/300lbs

where'd my tourqe go?????

My buddy bought a MAC cai for his '97, he immediately removed it because he said it had more power without and got better mileage.

I had MAC shorties and h-pipe. I ran stock airbox with a k&n dropin. This on a 94 Gt. ran 14.5 with horrible 2.2 short times. I don't know that a CAI would have made any difference for the difference in price.
