Recommand Cold Air Intake

Tadpole

Really? Provide data showing the major performance differences between the two on a stock setup. I would agree somewhat if you were running FI.

I'm not going to do that. It's not all about the power, dude. You really think it's good for the car to be sucking in 150 degree air as opposed to near-ambient air? You can watch the car pull ttiming as the IAT rises. The data is here if you want to search for it. It's pretty obvious from a visual inspection, though. The stock airbox or the Stillen pull air from in front of the radiator. Short rams get the heated air that's passed through the radiator. Especially once the fans kick on. And given that the OP was asking about cold air intakes, it's pretty obvious that he doesn't want a hot air intake.

It actually matters less on a FI setup since you're compressing the air and then running it through the intercooler.
