Well Im probably gonna get the C & L with the xcal. tune, plus the shaker hood scoop. I know I will have to cut a small hole near the intake plastic heat shield.

RE: Which c.a.i. is the best?

I got the Roush(Airaid) CAI and it was easy to install. I left the insert in so I wouldn't have to tune it, it supposedly gives 17 hp and 22 tq. I don't really know if that its true but I coul feel the difference. I later got a 87 performance tune and that made a world of difference over just the Cold Air. I couldn't stop spinning

first or second gear with 285/40/18 BFG KDs and that is with the insert still in.....can't wait to see what it will do with the 93 performance tune with the insert removed. Tuner is SCT from Amazon Tuning Solutions.

Honestly the best CAI depends on what you need, I have a JLT 88mm CAI and wish I could've gotten the C&L Racer 95mm CAI because of the extra diameter. I'm N/A and that extra 7mm would give me 5-8rwhp with the mods i'm running. I recommend you go with the C&L Racer if you plan on getting some big mods like cams/heads but if not just stick with the normal C&L or JLT CAI.
