Since no one is willing to use this

I will just leave this here for y'all.

I have a Halltech because I like Torque with my HP and low temps.

K&N FTW!!!! HAHAHA JK go vararam man and never look back.

Wow, it's been almost 2 days since someone asked which CAI is the best. Now we'll have to reset the counter back to ZERO again.

Do you have a specific budget to work with? I had a CAI on my 12' 45th SS, currently have a Rotofab on my 1LE and of the two I like the Rotofab but if I was going to do it over again I'd spent a bit extra and give New Era a try.

Just my opinion.....

Not a thing. Your splitting hairs on hp numbers that won't have much of any affect on a 4000lbs car.

Looks like K&N is one of the better performing intakes. Anyway, Vararam is a great intake. Due to ram air it will keep your intake temps as close as possible to outside temps while the vehicle is moving. And the non-tune version is less expensive than every other brand while making the same power if not more power.

Airaid!!!

K&N is absolute trash. Buy Roto-Fab, CAI, ADM etc. Oh yeah I almost forgot, buy it from Apex.

Thanks!

Cute avatar?

OP a meme we here was at the track, and was disappointed at the track last week. Go with a vararam or rotofab with a plastic intake.

+ 1 for rotofab

I actually have a 3 month old Cold Air Inductions system that I am getting ready to switch over to a Vararam. Why? I was recommended the Vararam and after much research, it appears to be the real deal. It greatly lowers IAT and they've put a lot of research and development into the intake flow.
