Subject: CAI expensive ?

Date: 	Mon, 2 Jun 1997 16:20:41 -0500



I have probably paid more than anyone on this list for my Jackson 

CAI, with shipping and import duty it came close to 600 dollars, I 

would buy it again this second. I have raced the car against stock 

Miatas, Miatas with the 14 degree timing, Miatas with the KN 

filtercharger...the Cai beats them off the line, in high revs etc..

If you think these prices are too high take a look at the current BBR 

chip that is out, I think it comes to about 700 dollars, you need to 

have it installed (takes 4 hours) and the first unbiased reports 

claim little gain...Power costs money, if you can and want to afford 

it go ahead and buy it, don't make bashing and downgrading a product 

a national sport because you think a product which you don't own or 

don't

particulary care for is overpriced....Is a Rolls Royce overpriced ? 

Not for the people that drive and enjoy it.....I have yet to meet or 

talk to one CAI owner who regrets buying this particular JAckson 

product...Let's see we've had Supercharger, Turbocharger and now CAI 

bashing....next down the line is probably header bashing and then 

 finally cat-back bashing....

Ah well, it takes all kinds to make the world go round I guess...
