Am I crazy??? Can engine covers make a difference?
I took off my plastic engine covers on the passenger side last night and I feel like the car is faster--could it just be more air to the Fujita intake is helping me get off the line quicker? I feel like it is just abit more responsive..... or is this just my imagination?
I hate being at 7,000 feet--you guys think your IS250 is slow, try this altiude! Cannot wait to move to San Antonio in a few months--hear they have oxygen down there!

I have a feeling it's imagination...
Most of the useable cold air is coming from the front snorkel which directs cool air to the intake. Removing the side panels should not have a major impact.
From what I've been reading, the intake is already sucking in as much air already so removing panels or adding a ram air design won't improve anything.
Perhaps, you're stepping on the gas pedal harder after removing the side panels.
