Paul's High Performance questions

I found some info on their cold air box/intake. Is anyone here using their other parts? Both the intake spacer and polished intake look interesting.

I'm using the intake spacer. Very easy install if you take off the EGR valve first. I think it's worth the $80- Seat of the pants feel was a slight improvement.

I just won the air box in the raffle. When I get recieve it and get it installed, I'll let you know what I think. :D

I have both, and I can assure you that ANY cold air box will help an N/A car in a track situation. The intake spacer I am not so sure of yet, it was an inexpensive N/A add on.

I pick up 2/10's with the airbox in conjunction with the associated headlamp removed. Trap speeds increased as well. Weather does matter, but on a cool night I approach 104 MPH trap speeds.

At the time I bought it, there were no other alternatives. Metco will soon market theirs, and K&N has promised for nearly 2 years now. Choose your poison, and whomever's you choose, there are benefits to be reaped.

Thanks guys, what I'd like to see is a true CAI or ram air setup. I'm not an engineer. -but- Seems to me there has to be a way to snake a tube down towards the lower grill to act as a pick up. Moving the filter box back towards the firewall, may create the needed space. It would need a "pre filter" and a way to drain excess water/moister. Something like the Olds 442 had back in the 70's. Probably won't happen with so few built. Many attempts to make this happen for the Focus and nobody has yet to perfect it...
