Well i'm about to find out soon when the car comes out of storage. I'm hoping this with the ported TB will definitely help a little.

Admantium, are you sure the Chris1313 has a bigger opening down low? I thought they were the same.

DeLaRosa25, did you actually notice a difference or not really?

The difference between the two is the chris1313 version doesn't scoop out like the SSRA version BUT the bottom piece is alot bigger, it tapers up to the top feed where it bolts up to the lid. ATM im leaning more towards the chris version because im not a fan of the visible air duct. But the $40 you save from going with the SSRA is nice too lol.

Heres a good picture of the chris1313 A/C version.

You can't see it at all.....you would really have to be looking for it ....it sits way back from the nose of the car . You can seal it all up with a/c foam from lowes ....I like mine so far

sealed up SUX2BU is hard to beat. Not saying ones better, but never saw anyone gain more with different style scoop under the car. Then a SUX2BU when it tested at the track, always the 2 4inch ducts sealed off the side grills on a camaro sealed to the lower airbox like the SUX2BU is, dose a little better. And it holds up better no sticking under the car. Downside it you need to remove the AC condenser so there not jammerd in there, but they being round and they stay off the rad a little less blocking the rad.
