-CAI vs SR: technically, any intake that draws air from infront of the radiator is a true CAI. the stock set up is pretty much a SR because of the power duct. CAI pipping heats up worse because there's more of it. SR that still uses the factory duct is still cold air as long as there's a heatshield near the filter. no aftermarket intake makes more than a few hp w/o a tune but alot of them DO loose power.

-Best intake for strait up performance: OEM 350Z-tube & hf panel filter

-Best out of the box intake system: Z-tube & Stillen hf box

-Best intake all around(sound, looks & performance): poished intake pipe(ARC or any polished type Z-tube) & JWT pop-charger

-My setup: ARC + JWT + Blitz

My performance mods:
-JWT Popcharger w/Blitz SUS filter
-ARC intake pipe
-Motordyne 5/16" Iso-Thermal plenum spacer
-AMS light wieght pulleys
-HKS Twin Power DLI-II ignition amp
-Stillen grounding kit(silver)
-NGK Laser Platinum spark plugs(one step colder)
-Stillen engine damper
-DC Sports ceramic coated headers
-Kinetix High-Flow Cats
-Stillen Generation 2 dual-path cat-back exhaust
-Technosquare ECU reflash & tune
