Default Ram Air vs. Cold Air

With some of the other upgrades I'm getting soon for my 98 GT, I'm trying to figure out which way to go with my intake system. What do you guys have to say about the March Ram Air systems and the kind of gains they bring vs. straight cold air systems? Also would it be better to go with a cold air system or something like this.....the ram air, with K&N filter in the stock air box and then a high flow intake tube like the ones Granatelli makes for the upper part of the intake...or even taking the upper part of a CAI and working it in with the stock air box and ram air system? Dunno if that would work but it's a little bit of a vision, I hope it makes sense...thanks guys...

both very good systems
i would stay away from cold air systems. some people like them but personally i don't because i had one on my old car and sucked up water a couple times. you also never know if the filter is messed up unless you frequently check it. and it's a PITA to get into the fender to check it all the time.

+1, I had the MAC cold air and stock was just as good. I got the JLT and LOVE IT! 175 for the full kit.
