Finally got tired of trying to analyze, compare, research, consider, and everything else I was driving myself flarkin crazy with and took the plunge.
Bought a Diablo Preditor from Concours Direct ( $339, free next day air shipping, PC cable included! ) and a Steeda CAI.
Preditor should be here tomorrow, the CAI, well, whenever it gets here I guess. I assume in a few days.

Going to drop the MMR CAI. Wasn't overly impressed with the way that it mounted. It actually stuck up a little high and was leaving an impression in the hood insulation. Don't think it hit the hood, but I certainly didn't want to do a test slam on it either. I suppose it could be modified, but wasn't in a modifying mood.
