[QUOTE="Willie, post: 15953589, member: 14133"] Let's try to keep things simple and not introduce so many variables. I'll try... We've all heard that the internal combustion engine is basically a big air pump, right? The more air it uses, the more power it makes. So let's use my latest "upgrade" as an example, and remember guys, I tune. So.... I had a 2.3 TVS. I changed to a 4.2. The only other change I made were the injectors, which in themselves, make no power. I kept my CAI which did not need upgrading. The first thing I discovered on my very first datalog was my MAF Transfer Function needed adjusting... by a LOT. The engine was ingesting more air across the board, from idle to redline. More air, more power, right? In fact, my gas mileage also took a plunge... So a larger blower handles more air at any given rpm.... more air, more power... same as a larger displacement engine. That's why the larger the engine, the less gas mileage it gets.... hmmm... Am I wrong? [/QUOTE]
