I am an authorized dealer for Cold Air Inductions and sell their intakes.. I can definitely get you hooked up with one.. and a little cheaper as well.. since my price is a little lower than direct from them, plus I give free shipping.. ;-)
They are one of the best cold air intakes there is out there... They have enclosed, insulated air boxes to keep out engine bay heat, ceramic coated intake tubes to reduce/eliminate heat soak, etc. You can check it out here http://cai.diablewtune.com and just select your vehicle from the drop-down list to get the info/details about the model for your vehicle. You can also click on the picture to get a popup of additional pictures of it that you can go through.
I have used their intakes for 9+ years on my own vehicles, and their build quality is 2nd to none.. their products always fit like a glove, and it's not cheap plastic stuff like others are... Like them so much, that I decided to become a dealer for them a few years ago.

There is 4 total , 2 of them are tied together attached to the transmission , and another one is a large ground wire from the battery that will also have a smaller with it also attached to the transmission , those 4 grounds are your primarys for the PCM/TCM and EBCM , Mine where jacked up and i had to cut into my harness and wire new ground wires. Yours may just need cleaning or may not of even been attached correctly. I noticed they did move your positive cable as this is not its natural routing. Also on the starter Positive post you should put a Cap over that post as it can hit the CAI and potentially arc , don't ask me how i know.

yea i was seriously getting stressed out , because issues like that can literally be anything. I've had alot of diagnotic experience so luckily i was able to use that to take care of it , funny part is i already checked my grounds and i almost wasnt going to do it again , until i realized that a unloaded working ground does not matter , that a good ground can still be a bad ground once its loaded.

I know Your Problem! i have the same air intake and YES the cold air induction air intake is the problem! if you look at your picture with the intake, the metal intake box is sitting right on top of your starter wire and bolt. what happens is when you get on the gas and the engine torques up, the starter power bolt rubs against the air box and wears a hole on the starter bolt rubber boot then rubs off the coating on the metal air box causing it to short and thats why your locks cycle, lights turn on on your dash and the car falls on its face on hard acceleration. you need to modify the box and move it more at an angle away from the starter and trim that power wire bolt at the starter so that it clears the box. believe me, it would have been a very expensive repair because i learned it the hard way! had to replace pcm, tcm and engine wiring harness at dealer. luckily i had an aftermarket warranty to cover the cost. if you dont do that asap, you will fry the internal ground to your tcm and would need to run a ground to your tcm housing or replace the tcm. i couldnt believe it was the intake either when the dealer told me but then i had a friend brake torque the engine is when i saw the starter bolt push up against the air box and could see the sparks and of course, the same symptoms you have reoccurred. once you adjust the air box, you will not have any more problems. I hope this helps in time!
I custom built my own version of the CAI style intake. Mine is custom built in the car and damn near seals completely up against the back of the headlight and along the support...beside the radiator/cooler, etc. 2 layers of 28ga sheet metal and 2 layers of graphite header wrap in between. clamped and welded once cut to size. I'd have to snap some pics but it's a REAL tight fit and has to go in in 3 separate pieces and be bolted together in the car.
Since I took the time to cut the templates and build it in the car i do not have the starter bolt issue (that i am aware of). I should double check clearances but I bet i have a healthy distance all things considered. I also built it with an eventual conversion to a 4" MAF in mind as everything is 4" but the LS4 MAF itself.
Let me see if i can dig up pictures...
