    Ive seen these around lately and they are designed by some people involved in F1. The net gain is supposed to be 20 bhp but I would like to see that on a dyno too.

    I installed these a few years ago with the same set up as above. After installing them I had many issues with idle on my 97, and had to switch back to the OE setup.

    I did notice a little better sound (minimal), but really no more power.

    FOD told me the intakes are really sensitive and they system is not set up for this type of massive change, which I fully support after going through this.

    So my point is OE might be the safest way to go until something like this is worked out with GOTH or others who have been dealing with intakes for years? Just an idea.

    My car is a 97’ and so far I have no idle problems or any issues. The car definitely sounds better. As to power gains, BMC which is made in Italy claims at list 10 HP gains, I don't have the luxury of a dyno testing facility but if someone in the Chicago area knows of any one I'll be glad to take it there for testing.

    I looked up an old post on the CDA I think you might have installed them backwards but I'm not sure. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49578 On this thread you were very possitive about the BMC CDA setup.
