^ An MM Tuned AP is excellent, but if lived in Candia NH I'd also have a Pettit Supercharger.

Significant no, just a couple of horsepower.
You can get that directly from Racing Beat if you wish. http://www.racingbeat.com/FRmazda4.htm

It's not that they won't allow gains. It's the fact that Mazda designed such an efficient intake from the factory. It's just not perfect. Mainly to the eye.

^ yes, that's the one. A number of us have gone with just the RB Duct mated to the stock intake and added a K&N flat filter (VFAD removed of course).

Sometimes Good-Win Racing has a discount on RB gear. http://www.good-win-racing.com/

FEED makes a short ram intake.

I don't know if it's an improvement or not. It sure as hell is a lot of bling in the engine bay.
