We have been getting the best power out of the callaway intake. I also changed my Vararam for it.

Isn't there a Halltech that runs to the front air ducts like the Vararam?

i've got just a K&N and am thinking of going to a Vararam soon. That or a Blackwing

Those are the 2 that i'd suggest. Your gonna notice the most from the vararam in the 1/4 and highway pulls

I've got the twin air intake from K&N but I have heard that the blackwing makes better dyno numbers than mine.
