I plan on measuring both on the dyno.

There is still no answers to my questions,
Has any one else reported this with a CAI, mostly loss in low to mid range.

If a mid pipe is installed will the engine run lean? Is there any loss, or does the re-flash compensate?

Please any info on these will be ...

K20A3 Loss of power after CAI install

Is it normal to "feel" a definite loss of power after installing AEM CAI?

Thanks,
I understand the benefits of the CAI, what I am trying to find out is how can the Re flash be optimised for both CAI or Stock Air Box?

K20A3 Fuel Map Optimized with what type of intake?

Hello,
I just reflashed my ECU 3 weeks ago.
I have had my SI for 4 years so I have allot of driving Exp with it.
I also changed the header to a DC short ceramic, with your IMG.
First drive was incredible. I had to readjust my torque damper due to wheel hop with new torque increase.
Very impressed ...
