intakes are shiny and look/sound cool. but they aren't going to do very much for you. your TL comes with a cold air intake stock. it just doesn't say AEM/INJEN/K&N and doesn't go "vroom vroom" when you slam it.
a lot of races depend on who's behind the wheel.

Your 06 TL has 258 hp at the crank. Subtract at least 15% due to FWD. Your cold air intake adds no hp, all it does is make noise IMHO. There is a huge difference between HP at the crank vs at the wheel. Google that for more information. Also, it's "VTEC" not "VTECH"

i dont' know about the VQ engines i think they're overrated. Drove my buddies 03 3.5L 6MT maxima the other day and it felt slow compared to my car, low and top end.

Umm, TL's are 14 second cars too. There are bone stock 5AT's running high 14's to low 15's and of course, the 6MT's are low 14 second cars. OP never even mentioned what tranny he has.

Great stuff there!
It always makes me laugh to think that people actually think TLs are fast (race) cars.
