Air intake
Air intake I currently run a K&N CAI, I am debating doing a LS1 lid, but do not really want to cut etc..
Would that style intake show any gains over a K&N? I need a tenth give or take...

Without knowing the specs of the car, suspension, etc, DA, all I can say looking at ET and MPH is that it would appear that you can find a few tenths in your 60' rather than an air intake system. 116 is good mph and should put you solidly in the 11s 11.80-90s with a good 60'...

I should have kept my K&N and swapped them at the track one day to see if it made any difference. In theory, I'd have to think it helped some but there's no concrete evidence to support this. That being said, the filter is larger, the MAF is larger and the pipe is larger as well as shorter and has less bends before it hits the TB.
Under the radiator support is an LPE C6 air filter and a 100mm MAF.

Verdad Gallardo I may have a few pics somewhere. I'll have to look.
For the IAT readings, I don't have any logs at the track where it would be most meaningful. I'll be changing my O2's in a few days and plan on doing some logging afterward. I'll let you know what I find.

I assume that its safe to say that your setup would not work with an A/C condensor in place? Also, I would think that this would draw a lot of hot air on extended idle times? (i.e. daily driver??) I am just curious becuase I just purchased an LS1 setup and now I like the look/feel of your setup.... Any input?

I managed to dig up a datamaster log from back in July when the outside temps were in the 90s with humidity in the high 90s. During a 13 minute drive (stop and go), my IAT's averaged about 100 deg. The IAT readings would go up when I stopped but would go back down once I started moving again. It doesn't appear to have too much of an effect on the engine temps either. During that same time engine temps averaged around 184 deg and never got over 190 deg.
Yeah, it definitely won't work with the AC in place. IMO, I wouldn't be too concerned with IATs during idle. WOT is where it matters.

For an N/A setup, I could see that. For nitrous, probably not. I'm cutting mid 1.4 60's on that setup still spinning the tires a little and I'm guessing that I'll be in the high 1.3 range with the new spool. I don't think it's hurting my 60' times. 95blackm6 was asking about DD behavior not squeezing a few tenths off his street car. If he's not tracking the car, then 60' times don't really matter.
