Basically the Airaid (which I designed, full transparency) was deemed a "bad intake" by the forum due to a couple of outspoken members and a certain tuner named Visconti who ended up being blacklisted himself after writing bad tunes and even burning down someones car with his flexfuel kit. After all the damage was done Bill at Delicious Tuning now says it's the best intake available. He made 200 whp on his development car with E85 and Airaid only, and now he's recommending it for the Innovate supercharger. Thanks for the offer, but our intake doesn't require a tune either, just like all of our other kits. We do the work on the front-end (CAD, flow bench, dyno, etc) to ensure the MAF gets the correct reading and drivability is the same as stock. An intake that requires a tune is a poorly designed intake by a company without the resources to design and/or manufacture something correctly. /rant |

Cool thanks Cross. You've probably seen us over in the Corvette world too then. It's interesting how much credibility we have in some worlds - Mustang, Camaro, FJ Cruiser, Nissan Titan, just to name a few. Then I come over here and people can't spell Airaid and think it's some piece of junk by a shadetree company that's going to dry up and disappear.

We're also working on a new C6 kit with carbon fiber as an option, and of course C7 is on the way too. |

Also, yes, some companies make the car run lean to make easy power. Always look at AFR when looking at a dyno sheet (or better yet LTFT on a scanner) to see if they kept it in a safe range and still made power. Fuel trims should be very close to stock. |

Considering that this is a tuner platform, and assuming that positive tuning reception by more tuners here would help, would y'all be willing to make such an intake for our cars?
Or was the fallout bad enough to consider the 86 market a market that won't give a reasonable ROI on the necessary development? On phone I am. Therefore, if mistakes I make, Frank Oz blame you should.

And if some locals here were willing to help promote the brand as something other than as a JAI (Just Another Intake), but as a good USA-made ready-to-tune product, like JDL or Nameless?

These should be arriving any day, and since I only need one, I figured I would ask if anyone wants the other. $10 sound fair? |
