If you do get the tubes, drop ins and vents and get it dyno'd, post back, would be curious to see that...
Oh, I definitely will. Modshack has said that the only difference as far as the airflow is that intake temps will rise by sitting, but once at around 25 mph they quickly reduce to right around what the Stillen's temps are. ( this is what I remember, and I could be slightly off )

If you want faster drag times, the G3's are going to be the way to go, as they are going to be much cooler sitting before a run and obviously will quickly come down will less speed... let alone a run going into the 103-114 mph trap speeds i've seen out of a lot of the 1/4 mile times.

If one is a track driver that runs a warm up lap, there might not be as much difference as people think. That of course would be up for debate though.

Add in the temp rise because of heat soak in the polished pipes of the G3 versus the more heat resistant silicone or rubber of the post MAF tubes of your choice. I would think that at speed the difference in temp would be negligible.
