performance and CAI unfortunately go hand in hand. There are a few threads regarding CAI's and their proven loss of hp's. If you really want to gain some performance, stick with the stock air box and get a higher quality drop in air filter. You should also look into purchasing an air scoop by RPI.
A quick search under RPI air scoop and AFE CAI will get you more info...GL with you mod choices

how bout a k&n intake?
If you want my opinion, get the RPi Scoops and the drop in filters. You will gain the most power from Race Precision's set up. Try Pm'ing member nerweezy or trinityautosport for the best deals.
