No . Buy a lid and do a Free ram air mod . Cut as much out of the Plastic pan as you can while being able to maintain a seal . you will feel a difference .
It will be close to the same as FIPK but wont cost as much .

I agree, my car came with FIPK, I would not buy it new for more than twice what a lid costs.

Your best bet for performance would be to go with the SLP lid and install one of our FTRA ram air kits. We can bundle the two as a package if you are interested.

If you still want to try the K&N FIPK, we have one left on clearance.

Email us at sales@fasttoys.net if you need more info.

Thanks

What the hell are you talking about ? I dont have a lid . I dont have FRA..I have a ram air and I dont have any bolt ons except my headers and cam yet .
READ MY SIGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ANd if your car was identical mod for mod I would have been more then happy to. But you have heads/gears/deaders/cam and probably a small shot of nitrous. So there wont be any matching up. :confused:

2 stock cars with those 2 setups will see similar numbers I dont care what you say.

My car trapped 108 stock ! 109 with a catback
What kind of bolt ons netted you 112 MPH ?

Yes..the lid would . The lid eliminates the baffles and has a more air space . good for at least 10HP

Lids are awesome, you will really feel a difference as soon as you install it. Also if you ever wanna do one of the dry nitrous kits you can still install it through the lid. Also I hear the BGRA really adds alot of power on the top end. The K&N to me seems like a waste because it doesn't seal the air flow coming in. No I am not racing anyone because I said that either!

I would suggest the K&N FIPK. Many people have seen gains in excess of 20 rwhp. When I installed mine, I felt an immediate difference. Much quicker throttle response.

The lid is a good mod. I agree it should be the first engine mod. If the price of the FIPK is too much, by all means get a lid instead. The FIPK will get you more rwhp. But unless you are a die hard racer I doubt you will actually notice the difference.

Keep in mind the ram air mod (which is a separate mod) can scuk up water and hydrolock the engine. It has been known to happen. Since the original poster is from S0. Cal., I'm sure he is recently familiar with with flooded streets and heavy rains.

BTW, if you go with the lid and FTRA mods, the cost of the two will be about the same as the FIPK.

Don't let the hydrolock thing scare you away from a lid and ram air combo. A blockoff plate is cheap and easy insurance. Plus the only cases of hydrolock I have ever heard of are during flood type scenarios where the person ran through 1-3 feet of standing water which is never a good idea at any time with any car.

Lid + SSRA is a great combo IMO. You get the performance of a lid and the added bonus of cooler air being drawn in from outside the car. The cost is about the same as a FIPK but IMO the performance is a tad better.
