Regardless of which intake you use (including the stock) the Modshack modification does provide a real benefit.

the R2C's have a heat shield, which gets hot, which in turn makes the area surrounding the filter cones to become warm, the G3's are a true cold air intake and collect air passing between the fangs, they are by far, in the most efficient location they could possibly be. People have dyno'ed the G3's up to 20whp, not crank, wheel. I'll tell you right now, after a few drags last night, the engine was hot, the tubes themselves were ICE COLD, which says to me that the intakes were sucking in a pretty good amount of air. I'll be doing an independent dyno soon, and my butt dyno is definitely telling me i've got the juice.
