Ram Air VS Cold air

i would definately recomend getting the slp cold / ram air kit that takes the air from in front of the radiator. i would also highly recomend getting an after market air lid to go along with it. those two mods together should yield about a real 15hp gain at the wheels. other good induction mods would be smooth bellows, larger throttel body, and a bigger maf sensor. good luck.

I second that. The SLP CAI kit is a better design. I do plan to add a raptor style hood or Firehawk take-off some time in the future, but for purely aesthetic reasons.

: Certainly, option #1 is much more expensive by the time you add in painting : the hood!

Your choice.

HP gains will be about the same with either choice. They both achieve the same result: Getting fresh air to the intake on a low restriction path. Posted Dyno results bear this out.

If you are going for performance only, the SLP kit is the best choice. Same results for a cheaper price.

If you want the aesthetics of the RA hood, then you have to decide if the looks are worth the price.
