I would go ftra. they have an extended piece that allows more air to be put up into the intake and it has been proven and IMHO think its a better product.

Are you thinking of the SSRA? I just looked at the pics of the FTRA and I don't see the extended piece. The SSRA has a scoop that sticks out below the front bumper.

I had the ssra on my car at one time. Its plastic and dosent heat sink. Last time I knew ftra didnt have a duct extending closer to the ground like the ssra. Even if ftra copied the ssra and made a extension duct I would still choose the ssra. I loved it thought it was great

I voted SSRA, but, this one waswn't a choice and it's the way to go IMO. Hood seals airtight and air charge has nowhere to go but into the intake at a tremendous force. Here in Florida heat, instead of scooping air up from 1-2 inches off the hot asphalt, much cooler air comes right into the nose. This also allows abundant crossflow thru the radiator, hence, less parasitic heat loss = more power.
