Default FTRA vs. WRA vs. SLP CAI vs. !FRA?

mainly the cold air induction packages grouped into one vs. !FRA.
1. is there a performance difference between the free ram air mod and the FTRA-style kits?

2. Can i install FTRA if i've already done the !FRA or does the !FRA mod take away too much material? (did i word that last one correctly?)

3. if you have dyno runs/track times please post them.

Yes.. you can install a FTRA if you have FRA.

1. The FTRA Mod is better than the FRA mod and well worth the $$.

2. You may have to do a little extra sealing around the lower air if you got a little to carried away with the FRA.

3. My car made 3rwhp with the Whisper RA on the dyno with only a small fan blowing at the front of the car.

why do people say "!FRA." The "!" is derived from computer programming which basically means "returns a false value." Like !cats would mean it checked if the cats were present and it returned "false" or "0." So !FRA would mean "No Free Ram-Air Present" in a literal sense. Stupid people.
