but when Tuned... the JWT or short ram are fantastic... heat shield does little tho. Still, just buy one form Coz as stated prev and ur good to go man.

Just a 50 to 60 degree difference in inlet temp, 3 HP loss every 10 degrees , very little difference I guess. The only time it does very little is while the car is at a standstill. Most of the time I drive my car , it's moving, so I couldn't care about the HP loss while it is sitting still or the first few yards when it starts moving again.

I think the tune is the key. Like he said stockbox, no tune. Short ram with tune better, add a heat shield in case or to "organize" your airflow. When the engine was hot the other day, I noticed the upper plenum was a lot hotter than the intake tube.

Your upper plenum will always be hot as hell, with a motordyne Iso gasket it makes it so you can almost hold onto it vs fry your fingers in a second. The heat that warms it up is actually from the eng block.
