Cold Air Intake
Last week I drove down to Monrovia to Luxury Motorworks. Steve installed the CIA for the first time on my is 250. It got about 7 hp on the dyno which was ok but did really good on the extra torque. It sounds better know and is getting a little better gas millage. Pictures to come soon. I really enjoyed my time with them.

I've heard that a CIA will mess with the fuel/air ratio and can be bad for the car during long drives. I dont really know too much about car upgrades, can anyone help me out here? Is this true? If so, can anything be done to prevent it?

I called Luxury MotorWorks and ask for Pictures to post. Steve Larkin is Lexus Certified Master Technician who work on it. He has all the specs on the dyno for my car . He can be reached at 626 358 2165.

and yes, i wonder if the ecu was reset between the two dyno runs? that would be important
and shaolin, intake technically can help on gas mileage. yes it's more air, but no it's not more gas. the injectors still put in the same amount of gas i believe?
