Interesting if true. My K&N FIPK is on the way -- I'll post my results. I hope my high stall torque converter will hide any low end hesistation, though.

Did you reset your ECU and give it a chance to learn the new intake?

You would do it by disconnecting the battery and waiting a few minutes. I have heard 30 seconds, but just wait a few minutes.

DA,

Try doing a search on SRT intake you'll find lots of info. Pros and cons have been discussed MANY times. Don't have time right now to look for any for you, but I might come back later if nobody else points you in the right direction.

The K&N FIPK is CARB certified, the SRT intake is not. The K&N is an intake only, the SRT is an intake and piggyback ECU which requires some splicing into the existing ECU wiring. From member feedback and vendor information, the SRT should provide more performance [x2 to x3 times more than the K&N if you believe the vendor dyno data].

Your mileage and satisfaction may vary. I'm buying for the cosmetics and auditory satisfaction. My K&N arrived but I'll be out of state until next week so the install will have to wait.
