The drop ins will help with throttle response some but not much in power, maybe 2-4 hp/tq. The stock CAI is only 8-10 degrees above ambient temps, which is about what the long tube intakes do. The long tube intakes widen the MAF section to lean the car out and that is where they get most of their gains. The stock CAI with drop ins also flow 240+ G/S, not sure what the long tube CAIs do.
