ok, NOW I'm impressed

Post by Petrucci914 »

So ya, lately I was starting to get disappointed with the supercharger. Well, today I finally got my aFe filter after yelling at them for over a month. I guess they make them to order and that takes quite a while. I had an older paper drop-in filter I was using the past week or so and just swapped it out. WHOA! NOW I have power. There is almost no hesitation and I could probably chirp the tires now if I wanted to. In the words of Borat, "Very niice!"

Yep. If you want one, order it as soon as possible. Takes 3 weeks to make it and then a week to get it. At least that's how it went with me.

Nah, not the ECU. I've been running it for over a week. I noticed the difference right after the filter install.

With an automatic? I dunno, I never beat the living crap out of it, especially at the line. First gear is very weak so I tend to start slow and then give her.

I had the aFe intake system and was made a nice difference on the base model.
