Default weapon R s/c intake Q?

looking to pick one up soon and was wondering if there are any reviews from real world users here on the good and bad of the intake. a lot of ppl that run cold air intake on a s/c set up have been fine and others say that it will make it run lean. wouldn't the weapon R s/c intake make it run lean also or is it built for it to run fine. anyone with this intake please chime in . thanks in advance!

From what I have heard from some people is if you aren't running a smaller pulley that its fine to run the intake, and there have been others on here that have a smaller pulley, and the s/c intake, and they run fine.

I myself am not putting my intake on until I get my HydraEMS tuned (well its going on when I take it in to get tuned that is)

What do you want to know about the intake? I have one that looks almost identical and under WOT my car will hit redline at a bit under 12.0 afr. It leans to mid 12's at about 4k-4500 then will go stupid rich. Like sub 12.4

I have my s/c intake up for sale - look at my signature links. I would get the intake if you are looking to get tuned. It leans out a tad w/o being tuned but if you are looking for some nice hp gains when adding a bunch of parts together the intake will always help matters and not hurt. Plus it has a air rushing sound when sucking in. The higher the lb's you go with your s/c the more air you want to be able to suck in.
