SO NO WONDER i never have full power besides at start up.

My car is completely stock with the exception of the Gen 3 CAI. The inconsistency of the car is so annoying... ESPECIALLY when i want to show it off!

How can i get this checked, what can i do! help!
There is a thread that mentions you can throw on most (all?) exhaust mods and not need to retune the engine, but if you put on a CAI in conjunction with one or more exhaust mods, you have to retune because it leans out the AFR mixture.

Not sure if this will be all that useful in your case, but maybe you are running a bit lean and causing extra heat that way.

If that is the case, you can get tune the engine to fix the AFR problems.
