    Upgrade Opinions....which to do first???

    Hey everyone, I was hoping to get a few opinions on what I should do first. My car is taking shape to be more about looks than actual performance, but my first trip to the strip with you guys a couple weeks back really got my wheels spinning. I have been wanting to go with an AirHammer for a while now, but I am now torn. I currently have a K&N Typhoon CAI installed, good sound but not so sure how much performance it is really giving me. So my question is this, should I upgrade from the K&N to the Airhammer, or should I hold off on that and get me a Diablo Predator first. I know most are just gonna say that it is an easy choice just get the predator for performance, but the reason I am torn is the fact that everyone says the Hammer is so superior I was thinking of doing that first to see if I get any improvements at the track before doing anything else....plus it would look alot meaner under the hood.
    So lets have it....
    AirHammer upgrade.......Diablo Predator

    Will, there are quite sgnificant gains to be had with the Predator. The AirHammer is a great CAI, but by itself, you're leaving alot on the table performance-wise.

    1) Predator
    2) AirHammer
    3) <<<<<<<<you know there will be more here soon!
    4) <<<<<<<<....and here, too!

    yes predator and maybe just look into the aircharger filter to see it might fit and if it does try that. I love my aircharger from k&n you hear it sucking air i think even more then the hammer, but just my 2 cents

    2 cents: If you want to save some coin from number 3 on your list keep the blastin bob's tips and get some high flow cats with a stock daytona muffler.

    (This is assuming you have a non Road & Track 5.7)

    5.7 Personal Best: 11.46 w 1.59 60'
    6.1 Personal Best: 10.405 1.566 60' @ 129.69
    7.4 Personal Best: Coming Soon


    Mods: Busted 6.1
