look at the cars what they consider "sports" cars. a 300hp nissan fairlady z isn't a "real" sports car to them, while a 135hp miata is a real sports car.
so it comes to no surprise to me that when they build their products for the japanese market, they are more inclined towards quick throttle response vs all out power. and when they on are on the racing track, midrange power and torque (and throttle control) is more important than top end power.

this thread was good to read as the differences of SR intakes, CAI, and chamber intakes...i have a drop in K&N filter and it does well better than stock, I will be considering an intake, but for now i really want to work suspension for now...i want my car to perform well at the track. I am intrigued how the japanese tune their cars. So overall which intake would be best for me...SR, CAI, or chamber intake for the route that i am going with my car

no CAILike a short ram / induction box + 4-2-1 header will give better throttle response and mid range power.
A cold air intake + 4-1 header will give lots of top end power.
Where would you want to have your power? Low/Mids or Upper RPM ranges?

So the SR/ chamber intakes will do best for me as to how i want to have the power of my car...so in all low/mid RPM range is what i want to do. I was looking at the H-FIT.com intake...looks real good so far...if you have info on these guys and the intake feel free to let me know more...once again D thanks for the help
