air fuel ratio
 

someone told me that my k&n short ram typhoon intake is making my car actually slower and not giving it more HP becuaseair fuel ratio isn't right? true? false?

RE: air fuel ratio
 

false. your car automatically adjusts to the new intake and it makes it as efficient as possible. don't worry about it.

RE: air fuel ratio
 

agreed, thats the whole point to the computer ando2 sensors, is to make adjustments in the amount of fuel that goes in to match the amount of air.. if your getting more air, then more fuel goes in, and you go faster.

RE: air fuel ratio
 

so then if ur using more fuel how do u get better gas mileage

RE: air fuel ratio
 

you dont if you have a lead foot while you drive. If you take it easy you'll get a little bit better mileage

RE: air fuel ratio
 

a new air filter on your intake doesnt make your car use more fuel.....the only way your car actually puts out more fuel is messing with teh ECU or the fuel system itself. Your original statement is completley false. K&N Air Filters will give you NOTHING but positive, go for it.

RE: air fuel ratio
 

so the intake gives me HP but isn't bad for my engine in any way

RE: air fuel ratio
 

correct sir. the intake will not do anything bad for your engine

RE: air fuel ratio
 

better MPG (a little), better sound, better performance, better looks. Period. I would really like to roundhouse kick your friend that said your intake filter affects your air/fuel ratio.

BTW an aftermarkte intake is a very common first mod to your engine so i would highly reccommend it

oh i already have it for awhile now
