Noobie Here

[slateH3]

Hey all. I'm an H3 noobie. just wanted to say hi. my background includes Open Track racing in my 450bhp Cobra Convertible. I've been involved in autosports for a long time and consider myself a do-it-yourselfer.

Its been a long time since i've owned a cool offroad truck/suv. But when i saw the H3, I thought it 'just awsome'. I love it.

i've owned the H3 for about a week now and i must say that the 5 banger is lacking in the HP/TQ department. Also I feel the brake/gas pedal is a little too close together. But other than that, I love it in every way. I have the 'Adventure' package.

Now for my first question: I would like to improve the performance a little. Would a K&N FIPK (aircharger) work. K&N claims 18rwhp, but i've been around and I'm not sure i'm totally buying the claim. Suggestions?

PS: i'm not ready to gut the exhaust yet, so just 'bolt-on' suggestions for the time being...

thanks all! and happy to be on your boards!!!
