The Halltech Tric cold air intake was and is the king-of-the-hill. Not made any more; hard to find. But the fastest. See my signature.

I without question reccomend the RAPTOR XXL I bought it used off of another forum member for under 200 and is the best cai that I have ever seen, the filter is about 20some odd inches wide.... and comes with a new air bridge and everything, it is freaking awesome... no numbers on it but wow, I am also considering cutting away the plastic guard below it and making a box around the filter for more cold air... mod bug is eating me and my bank account alive, over 4k in the 2 months that I have owned the car.

My vote is for the Vararam. Best time with the Vararam, LT's and Dr's was 12.20 with a stock internals motor. Previous best with the Blackwing was 12.5X, but the Blackwing does not draw cold air.
As for HP, not real sure. I prefer track numbers to dyno numbers.
