Weird sound when I get on the gas

My car sounds like Sebulbas Pod Racer from Episode 1 when I accelerate. Is it supposed to sound like that? I think its a cool sound and it make my car sound mean.

Not sure what sci-fi vehicle you would be refering to but I bet what you are hearing is a whoosh/sucking sound when you go WOT. Did you notice it as soon as you put your open element on? The stock air box dampens out all sounds that the TBI makes. An open element does not. Enjoy away
