Um we are talking 2 to 4 Hp difference between the two intakes systems and honestly makes no difference. I would recommend then because I have them. They are easy to install and no bumper removal or coolant bottle relocated. The short rams even look better in the engine bay too in my opinion. Let's not also forget about low water crossings. To each his own but the short rams are a better choice considering install time and no drilling, cramming and pulling your tires and bumper off.

The catch is the obscenely high IATs you're going to see. On a dyno with the hood up, you're ok. In the real world, the ecu is going to pull so much timing due to IATs that you'll give all the gains back. Do some data logging with timing and IATs. It's an eye opener.

Do you know what the IAT's would be with coldair intakes I logged a run with my set up and say temps at 15 and fuel temps at 11. AN have zero clue what those mean.

Not sure how you're seeing IATs of 15 degrees F. Was that in Celsius? IAT's will be a few degrees above ambient when moving.

Give or take 60ish. He is Boston so that's possible

That's probably pretty close then.
