SSRA. Easy to put on, and your airdam will scrape way before the SSRA.

I have also wanted to know which one makes more power? I have the FTRA and might sell it to get the SSRA if its worth it? Any one dyno both and see a difference?

Neither will show gains on the dyno...you need air speeds of 75+ mph to really get the effects of the ram air.

Get the Super Sucker. I finally got into the 12's with the SSRA. The construction was great and it was easy to install. Since I had done the FRA already it took only about 20 minutes to install. BTW, I've never even scraped mine. Just drive sensibly.

I had the FTRA on and it made my car run hotter when sitting in traffic. I now have the SSRA and no prob.

Yeah has anyone ever compared them at the strip? I know on Autotap the SSRA was consistently 4-5 degrees cooler for air inlet temp. Plus it's made in America.

no problems at all with my ftra. all depends on if you want to spend more on the same product. and heat soak is not an issue.
