As for Stillen Gen 3 intake, I thought it does provide gains. Seems like a lot of people that post in this thread disagreed

Don't forget I also have HFC and CBE. So I won't gain much with Gen 3?
For decent gains, low cost, and ease of installation, you can't beat tubes+high flow panel filters (< $210).

The G3's appear to make an extra 6 +2 whp over the tubes + high flow filters at various points in the rev range (but not at EVERY point in the rev range -- most of the gains are at the top)... but it also costs over $500 bucks new.

To me, it comes down to how much extra cash/effort the 4-8 whp is worth to you.

I think if you can find them used for between $350 and $250 (or if price is no object, and every whp is critical to you, buy them new and enjoy) it is worth it over the tubes + panel filters.

However, for simplicity and bang for the buck the tubes + panel filters win, IMO.
