I think what PalmerGA is trying to say is:
1. You posted a very similar post 4 days ago and received a lot of feedback.
2. If you search the site you would get about 20 pages of threads on this very topic (i just did it to check, and there are several with polls too).

Here is how I decided on an intake: I looked at the JRE test results, picked the top performers out, and then decided by which one i liked the look of the best (Cold Air Inductions for me).

These threads tend to simply be a poll of what people online at any particular time have on their car or what they want to sell you. Check out the thread below. It goes over the pros and cons of the different systems available for these cars and has links to a lot of other data. That should help you make an informed decision on what is best for your application.

This. Test results are always suspect until verified by other independent sources.

There is a way to post a thread as a poll.

I searched this topic when I first joined the site. After reading all the info i could find and test results i bought a Green renewable air filter and put it in my stock airfilter box. From the info i found it flowed just as well as any aftermarket CAI and even better than others.
I also bought a Vararaam but did not install it because where i live the winter is very cold and I have no choice to run my camaro in the winter. Pumping way below freezing air into my car did not seem to make sense to me so I decided to keep the stock set up with the Green filter. so far it has been very good to me although from a looks point of view some of the other CAI kits look a lot better. The vararaam probably flows better than the stock/green setup and I may decide to put it in for the summer period.

FYI. The colder the air the more HP you get.
