what is the best intake short ram or cold air

Not all this information is totally accurate. I have R2C short intakes (which are sealed off from engine heat) and when combined with the Modshack vent modification the intake temps are as low or lower than those provided by the G3. Some tests have shown that as soon as you re-install the front bumper much of the G3 advantage is lost. Regardless of which intake you use (including the stock) the Modshack modification does provide a real benefit.

the R2C's have a heat shield, which gets hot, which in turn makes the area surrounding the filter cones to become warm, the G3's are a true cold air intake and collect air passing between the fangs, they are by far, in the most efficient location they could possibly be. People have dyno'ed the G3's up to 20whp, not crank, wheel. I'll tell you right now, after a few drags last night, the engine was hot, the tubes themselves were ICE COLD, which says to me that the intakes were sucking in a pretty good amount of air. I'll be doing an independent dyno soon, and my butt dyno is definitely telling me i've got the juice.

Please provide results to this part of your comment.
I can search a multiple set of journals on this forum and pull up people getting 15+ with Stillen Gen III with front bumper on for dyno runs. Not saying the modshack design plus better filters is better or worse, but the Gen III do great with the bumper on/off.

This will be more work then the G3 install.
