Default Superflow Induction kit?????

I ran across this item while looking for some other parts. I am currently using an FTRA and wonder if the superflow kit is all that its cracked up to be. According to the discription it might have some advatages. I also saw that it had a 13hp gain over stock....wonder if that was because it was done at the same time as a lid install. Whats your take on it? I do like how it draws directly from the front though.

"Sounds" like an improved version of FTRA. However, I'm not sure the scoop effect will work any better. I know some have tried without succeding in proving a benefit. I like the idea of plastic and being more angled from the radiator, but anytime someone says they gained HP on a dyno from a ram air device, I have to raise the <img border="0" alt="[bullshit]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bs.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[judgement]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_judge.gif" />

Should be interesting to see how it works. Like Joel said.. we have a few local guys that have tried very simular setups without any gain over the FTRA. I do like the idea of a little more air to the radiator.
