Default Bluepower CAI Economy figures BOSS V8?

Hey im thinking about purchasing a bluepower CAI one soon.

Has the fuel economy dropped much after fitting this CAI in boss v8's?

Currently I am getting around 15l per 100km every tank in my BA GT

Thanks in advance

Adam

We do get feed back that the CAI does improve your fuel economy..

Custom tuning will allways net a better fuel economy than the factory tune..

in theory itll help fuel economy, but believe me, the sound it gives makes it real hard to keep your right foot off the floor

On the Hwy you will get a decent improvement, im not running the BPR Airbox yet but using a rival brand i average around the 10.1-10.3L/100km.

Around town Economy will be worse due to sticking your foot in it all the time :P
