A short ram will fall below a cold air because ambient air around it will becomes higher as the engine temp increases.

Well put. Pulling fresh air from the fenders will give you better, and more consistent results, year round. Always spring for the true CAI unless you live somewhere that floods frequently IMO haha. SRI might provide a more crisp throttle due to less piping length before it hits the TB but they make the car feel like a dog in the hot months.
