The engine management system in your car will take into account the density of the air thats coming into the engine. It usually wants to keep the mixture of air and fuel at a ratio that creates complete combustion (thus more efficient, more power and also cleaner emissions).
Thus when you have a CAI, the engine management system will inject more fuel to keep this ratio and account for more oxygen coming in, giving you more power (but using more fuel).
Without a CAI, there will simply be less fuel injected to keep that same ratio.

it does if you think of it that way. but most of the time its more efficient to have cooler air channeling into the engine. less strain on engine and more flow equals less resistance which would be power lost and energy lost which would be more efficient if put to use driving the wheels.Quote:

Stating how mank kms you're getting on a full tank isn't really accurate..what exactly do you mean "a full tank"? Until the light comes on or are you guys driving till the engine dies : P
I'm getting 8.43 litres per 100kms for those interested..so on a 50litre tank that's 593kms.
