Alta intake / 0-100 VIDEO!

Hi Gang,

I posted this YouTube video today. A couple friends were asking about how the car sounds with the Alta intake on it...

So far, the only engine mods are the Alta intake, turbo inlet hose and hot side (long) boost tube upgrade - I'm haven't gotten around to doing the other tube, I need a nice cool Saturday....

Here's the link:

I can't help but think that road does not have a speed limit of 100MPH.

Hey Jarid,
I used a standard camera tripod and positioned two of the legs behind each seat back... Squeezed tight with some foam pillows. The third leg fit snuggly into the hole in the back seat where the belt clips stick out. It was pretty solid for a quick run but I wouldn't rely on it at the track....

Jeremy... Is there any toad with a 100 mph speed limit????

Yeah, I considered all of them before I purchased. I ended up replacing the crappy stock grill in the hood scoop with mesh so a lot more air comes in now... For the $ it was the best choice. The ddm race system seems like the ultimate but not worth the extra money for just a bit cooler air.

Good video (quality and sound of CAI) but please refrain from talking about the speeding on public street, take the speed to the track
