You are right, only because<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by SFSETEG &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Uhh, correct me if I am wrong but CAI do not provide more power than SRI.

you got it backwards. The CAI provides mid-low end power, while the SRI provides top end power

Just ordered my SAI to replace my CAI and will be selling once I take off the CAI. I bought the AEM SAI in polish to replace the silver CAI

you can't cut it becuase you would need to reweld the pipe for where the MAF goes

You seriously think they should replace the engine for you? For customer satisfaction? Let's think about that. How much is a new K20? For our purpose let's assume it's around $10K.

just for anyone's info that doesnt know.

if u have reason to suspect youve sucked water into your motor you can still save it! just shut it off immediately and get it towed... u can take out the spark plugs and crank the water out, change the oil, etc.

if youve hydrolocked and keep tryin to start it up thats where u damage the motor the most... pistons cant compress water.
