gotcha, that makes sense. kind of like the electric nibblers (don't know their name).
I had a major set back with my project. I think I just got too greedy. I put on the airdam and now the IAT is staying too cool so I decided to cover the one last opening in my nose (the car's nose) so I test drove it at 1:30 in the morning. outside temps were about 70 deg. I got to about 220 on the water temp before I decided to tear it out. I had the heat going full blast and the windows down. I got the temps back down to about 200 on the way home with the heat going.
I am seriously thinking of taking the air dam off too. I didn't yield that much from it (if any) I think anything I would have yielded from it was offset by the cooler temps on the intake.
I have gotten a cavalier up to 38 mpg which is in the neigborhood of 50 percent over EPA. I think I should be happy with that.
