does it help out automatics?

[NEVERSTOP]

Short intakePros;
Less water seapage into moter than cold air.
Smaller lag time.
Easier to install.
Cheaper

Cons;
Uses more hot air than cold air intakes.
Not as big of hp gains.
Not as cool looking as a cold air intake.

Cold air intake Pros;
Higher hp gains.
Cooler looking under hood.

Cons;
Hard to install.
REALLY dangous to engine with out a bypass filter.
Tendency to create too many LEAN conditions for motor, also dangous.

The best set up you could achive would be to purchause a short intake and build a cold air box for the intake... what you do is funnel cold air from the front of the car into box the houses the intake filter. Also install an bypass filter to detect water... AEM sell a really good one for $200-300.

Alot of people will use plexiglass for the air box that way you can still see the filter.. It would also be a good idea to drill a hole at the bottom of the box so any trapped water will be able to drain.


As for hp gains by the Injen short air intake..... Injen claims 15.7hp gain on the manul gt not sure what the gain is on the auto.... would belive that it would be comperable to this though..... Remember an automatic that is geared right is faster than a manul in a quarter mile.
