Default Intake coolers.

What do you guys think about some of these intake coolers. Does anyone have any personal experience with them.
Heres a few different ones.

Also my friend found one that was 40 dollars, ill have to get him to give me the link.

So do you guys think this would be a good idea when waiting in the staging lanes.

I think Hot Rod magazine did a test on the racing cooler and saw some gains on the dyno. I can't remember the gains but I considered buying one for a while. The one from summit looks interesting but looks like it might restrict airflow since the "bulb" is so large. See if you can find the link for the $40 one.

Hey I found the link.

http://www.maxcool.com/

I wish someone could dyno these 3 setups or something, the one from summit looks reall cool but i wonder if the restriction would be worth it.

Also I wonder How much better the one from racing coolers is cause its so much more than the max cool.
