Before: IAT at speed was 5 degrees over ambient
After: IAT at speed was 2 degrees over ambient

MAP: redline in 2nd gear: 14.1 psi
MAP: redline in 3rd gear: 14.5 psi

The manifold pressure is with the STOCK FILTER AND AIR BOX IN PLACE!!!

No - I'm not expecting pressurized air, I'm just expecting to eliminate all losses below 14.5 psi. I think I accomplished my goal!

The difference isn't huge, but I do have more air, and colder air.

Total cost: $15+/-
Total time: less than 3 hours start to finish, including road testing.

Hey, that's um.....well....cool! LOL....how about details? Pics? Materials and prices?

Good DIY CAI kit..I too did one similar-Feb.26,2005
Air Box modification
I haven't the pictures anymore,but it's very similar to what you came up with.
Mine looks like the Volant,but without the big hole in the front.
And it's still working GREAT !
