Why would you cancel it? Neither will make a significant improvement on power. If you have a Y-Pipe to match up with the intake, you will notice better gains, but from what i've read, the grounding doesnt add much, and intake alone robs low end.

yes i no they wont' make that much pow, but does the CAI create lags or something?
right now, i have a hacked, K&n filter, with oscai and sometimes when i even touch the gas pedal off the line, i get super fast response. do you think the CAI will ruin this that much?

probably. like i said, if you have a y pipe to match the intake up with, i wouldnt get just a CAI. I have a PR CAI and got it AFTER i got my y pipe, and before the cai, i was running 15.9, a month later at the same track was running a 15.4 with the CAI. Same setup, just added the CAI.

get a new K&N filter for it too. The ones that come with the bomz intake are garbage. i cant remember the part number for the intake, but if i still have the box, ill let you know when i get home. i know its a 3" cone though.
