Have any other good options come up for the Monaro. Needs to be sizable enough for a big blower. The Wortec one is bloody expensive for what it is and before you ask I don't want an OTR (sorry Rich)

I know someone tried the K&N kit for the US GTO. How did that work out?

Worst case i'll make something up but a good hassle-free off the shelf option would be nice.

Not sure how the map affects the performance of the intake. Heatsoak, definitely! Like all these things, you only find out by trying.

i thought some intake without a map actually caused the car to run richer, and sometimes lose power?

but yeah heatsoak is bad............sounds nice though!

Was reading this thread this morning - basicly the nostrils in the pontiac version of the VXR8 leaks, filling the CAI with water and hydrolocking the engine - doh.
