Can someone explain low and high end

Ok I am discussing low and high end results from a CAI with someone and questions are getting difficult because I dont really know what this really means with low and high end.

Does this mean low end as in low rpm range or low end as in 0-60MPH?

Im so lost.

I know that a popcharger helps the 1/4 mile but does it it help the 0-60 also or does it make it worse?

Hmmm, if the questions/comments sound like, "....it gains some in the top end, but loses some low end." Like that, they're referring to the amount of power produced at the low RPM ranges and high RPM ranges. So one common comment about CAIs is that you might lose some "low-end" (low RPM power) but gain some "high end" (high RPM power).

I personally split RPM into roughly idle-3000 low, and 3000+ high. There's no "right" way to define it.
