^ Was gonna say same thing. Mid Ram leaves ALOT on the table. Every other intake option would be better.

Stock probably better than either of those intakes !

Although I doubt you'd expect a huge power difference either way, probably better to spend the money elsewhere unless the replacement intake is cheap.

Stock intake would probably gain more low-mid range, and similar up top.

For low profile ? Holley Sniper ? Although quality on that one seems hit or miss...

Or this ?

With boost, boost can help carry the power up top, even if the intake maybe doesnt want to shine there.
But a good intake could be used to boost performance at the lower end or off boost if something was lacking there.
Maybe more useful with laggy turbos than say a centri blower.
