Default best CAI/LID for SS camaro

Hey guys, i was doing research before and heard the best cheap setup was an slp lid with a k and n filter and ud make about 15whp. My question though was would it be more worth it to do some type of Ram air kit instead because I have an SS and the hood takes in air? I was reading a thread someone made a custom ram air and gained like 25whp in the quarter mile from it and like .2 seconds. so my question is what would be the best intake for an SS camaro

Slp lid / k and n filter

Fast toys ram air

slp cold air package flowpak

Or the K and N FIPK thanks guys

A used SLP lid from the classified section is all you need.

I think im confused here... the fast toy ram air does that hook up underneath your car and funnel air up into your air box area, and u can run an SLP too?

I have the SLP cold air that goes under the lid, they say it gives you 10 hp, combine that with a lid for a couple more, I accidentally bought two on ebay so I put one of them back on there, its at 100 right now, but i do have the best offer option if you feel that is too much. The unit is in fantastic shape.

here is the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ebar&viewitem=

The K and N filter is going to give no HP the topic has been beaten to death on here.. The lid will give you about 5-7 and a FTRA isn't going to give you anything while your on the dyno. I would say with the lid and the FTRA while your moving you could see 10 or so...

unless you hook up a fan like people have to simulate air blowing towards the car and see about 10 horsepower gain on the dyno
