MrBig,

As I did (many times) when you had a GS, I'm going to politely ask you to please search the forums before posting a question. Many of your questions have already been covered and can be answered right away.

On your edit, same answer as above Mrb.... search and you'll get the details about which are out right now and who has what.

I say no to the intake... I was in the process of installing it on my 350 when I realized the stock setup is actually better. (I was actually insalling the Fujita intake, but it is identical to the LMS design except it says Fujita instead of LMS on the pipe) I put the stock one back on before even completeing the install and returned it. Not long after someone posted dyno results confirming my suspicions. I'm not sure how deep that thread is burried now but I'm sure a quick search for "LMS intake" or "dyno" will bring it up.

I brought up the same exact point you just made, a couple of months ago..
I will just use a K&N drop in, (when it becomes available)..

Its NOT a CAI and therein lies the problem of why the stock intake is better. Personally the novelty of the intake wears on me before long and I find myself wanting the quiteness back. Now put an intake on a supercharged vehicle and hear that nice high pitched whine, thats different
