I'm thinking about upgrading my car to get some more HP. I was thinking about getting a Cold Air intake but was wondering if you can really tell lthe differnce and after the change should I add any chips or make any changes to the cars computer? Other than doing something like this does any one have any Ideas that I can do (low budget that is)?

Most people say that you dont feel the difference between a Wai and Cai but there is a difference from stock but not to noticeable. and I am not sure if they even make chips for the 2.4 alero I have looked but I havent found them.

there was a difference going from WAI to CAI.

there are no chips for our cars. the new computers don't use chips anymore. you need computer reprogrammed.

if you did a CAI i would do exhaust and 56mm TB also.
