When you are driving do you feel the need to go faster? Does it look like it should go fast? Can it get to 60 quickly or very quickly?

lol. I do not know. Those questions won't really even answer the question. An outback doesn't really look like it should go fast but its designers are keen on mudding and four-wheeling so it needs hp.

The real question is what was your car designed as? A sports car or an econo car. Did it get good mpg to start with or lower end?

If sportscar just slap either no changes or a CAI. If it got really good for its weight class and trim might wanna look into it, although test the inake air temperature first and see if its really high to start with or low. low WAI, high, leave it alone, really high CAI.
