Now that's a loaded question. Some say, YES, you'll feel the difference, some, NO. It ain't gonna be the "whippin-yer-head-back" type of power increase at all. Hell with as slow of a car as I have, I really don't notice the gains that much. Unless you do EVERYTHING to the engine to make it help the CAI, it won't do THAT much.

And by everything....I mean....Intake, Headers, Exhaust, Throttle body, etc. Just one component of the series of parts won't make a big difference. BUT it is a start.

And as far as sound goes....the engine won't purr like a kitten anymore, but it isn't going to sound like a nice 454 either.

Try searching on www.sentra.net and www.nissanperformancemag.com for some more answers.

Yeah,My Cutlass took 21 seconds to hit 60 when I got it,and unplugging the computer dropped it to 15 seconds, but I never felt a difference.(and yes you really can run a GM computer carb engine with the computer unplugged-I did it for a year)When you are driving a really slow car,it takes a lot to feel a difference

I noticed a difference. It wasn't my imagination because my g/f noticed it too

I dont think you would notice a difference of about 4 hp to the wheels when you have 90... i mean thats only around a 5.25% difference in power... I just dont think it would be all too noticable, except to the ear.
