Driss, about time you pulled your head out of your ass and got a CAI

BTW, is your S/C intercooled?

Thanks Kev, it's just because the icebox is not fitting correctly anymore, add to that the fact that I'm a perfectionist. I'll get a picture of what this hole ordeal is all about, so you guys can see why I think I might not be getting the full potential of my setup right now, thus wanting to change to the CAI, I hope it fits right.

No I wish it were. Before Comptech changed owners, they had made 2 prototype intercoolers for the S/C kit. I think both of them are now owned by a couple of CRSX members. Hopefully after they re-open, if they produce intercoolers again, it's definitely going to be on my list.

I'm still weirded out over Comptech showing the SC with their exhaust and Icebox. Yet, yours doesn't fit.

As to Chuck's question about lawsuits, I'm sure the warranty says "Use at your own risk: somewhere in there.

Update: I snapped a few pictures showing what's going on with the icebox, but I didn't get a chance to upload and post them because we had to leave to go visit my in-laws last night. So tonight, it will be the first thing I do when I get home.
