The C&L is a nice setup. I went with it for 2 reasons.
1. It boasts up to 935 CFM of Airflow. Of course that is without a shroud of any kind. Thats fine for drag racing, but with prolonged use the air temperature under the hood gets too high and causes performance loss. The best set up for a normal driving conditions is to use the C&L kit with a slightly modified stock bottom base. This lowers the airflow a bit, but keeps the intake temps much lower for more consistant performance.
2. The Cast Aluminum Intake tube looks great under the hood! It compliments the SRT Intake Manifold really well. And the huge filter just screams high performance. I saw a pic of this setup installed on another forum, and I knew I had to have it.
When I found the C&L Intake, T-Stat, and Predator all in one combo at Bamachips.com, that sealed the deal. The guys there will even set me up with a custom tune for the predator for free. All I have to do is send them a copy of the stock tune, and they will do the rest. That is really helpfull as I really dont know what Im doing when it comes to tweeking tunes. All in all a good deal. Ill let you guys know how it all performs once I get them in the car. Im going to wait until after the break-in period before I install the mods. That should give me a decent base-line to go off of for the comparison.
Edit: Heres a pic of the unit installed.
