Also I've been watching some youtube vids of time attacks and a lot of tuners have also stayed away from CAI's and used just hoses and filters.
Same here. I just don't see $300 and an hour or two more work is worth the 5-9 HP you MAY get with the Stillen over the drop ins with the HKS smooth pipe. Thats a lot of money per HP when you do the math.

Of course, when it was all said and done, I just paid about $350 including installation for an under-drive pulley that might get me 5-7 HP.
