You shouldn't get a loss of power from a short ram intake. it should be a VERY small increase.

while it is true that the stock intake system is techniclly a cold air intake it is WAY too restrictive. (if you put a box type k&n filter in your stock box and removed the resonator box in the bumper it'd probobly be better than the hot under hood short ram. but with the stock filter and resonator on there, there is just about no way you could loose power (unless your engine is incapable of sucking in the more air provided by the higher flow filter.

as far as 80+ taking away the advantage of the cai NOT A CHANCE under hood temperature's are above 180 degrees so by
94EX's formula that's 100 degrees which is a 10 percent increase in power. if you have 100 hp now you have 110 if you have 200 then it's 220 THAT"S NOT A BIG DEAL?
