I already know some of the basic pros and cons of the two
CAI-
Pros: obtains cooler air- should gain more power
Cons: long piping results in less throttle response, depending on location of filter, can risk hydrolock (sucking up water into your engine and destroying it which really sucks and worries me)
WAI-
Pros: improved throttle response, gains in hp when engine is cold. No risk of hydrolock
Cons: I hear the engine bay heats up alot when at rest which gives it alot less power.
I might be wrong, im dont really know all that much about moding it up, just wanted yalls input and such. What you think would be better as far as power or Fuel Economy.
BTW i have a 99 Alero GLS 85,000 miles black total stock. Wanting to upgrade and think this is where i should start :hide:
