JRE testing showed better results than even the manufacturers were claiming in some cases, so it may be that the Injen short ram would have done well in those tests too. Too bad the short ram and Roto-fab didn't make the deadline.

Some of us did the Airaid box mod and it did cool down the tube, more torquey and responsive also.I did a heat sheild also and it took the temps down with the added air holes. Of course I did it as I aready had the unit, but if I bought again I like the looks of the Roto Fab.Power on all of these is going to be about the same anyway. A note also if going Airaid make sure it seals to the hood. I raised mine up in the corner near the engine to to this, just to be sure and seems to have helped a bit. Doing this also raised the tube up off the radiator more, Might help with heat a bit.
