Question Short Air Vs CAI

I just got a Fujita CAI and have the option to go short air. Is there really any change between the two? I have used the search tab and all I have found were arguements for both sides. Thanks guys

the only difference that im aware of is that a CAI is high end power while short ram is low to mid range power.

Neither one is going to make a worthwhile difference so it's more of a looks thing really.

Also according to other people an SRI tends to have more of a "growl" than a CAI..I'm currently running a SRI, formally a CAI, and I don't notice any kind of difference at all.

OMG,common now theres plenty of threads on this, theres no real difference between the both and if there is you wont feel the difference,

CAI- sucks in colder air
SRI-sukcs on the engine bay heat


what i would do is put do both SRI and CAI and see if you noticed a difference and youll youll find the answer
