jrsc doesn't like any sort of battle when it comes to ingesting air. The CAI is long, and contains bends that make it tougher for the air to get through to the blower. Remember, it likes to blow the air, not suck it.

I run the Iceman SRI on my jrsc, and it works great. I've also found that the shorter you cut your SRI, the less restriction you get, thus more power.

then why not just put the filter on the throttle body or better yet "open throttle body"
