If it's bone stock, I'd consider the C&L street. The racer won't make any gains over the street without some supporting mods. If you're planning a lot of N/A mods in the future, then the racer is a good choice.

Either one, they're both good. I chose the jlt and saved the extra money. I'm satisfied with it.

All of the CAI & tuner combos are considered equivalent in performance. Most people base their choice on price and looks. Ditto what was said about the racer not adding anything unless you're heavily intake/exhaust and internally modded.

That being said, I originally went with the C&L race vs. street because of it's chaper price and plastic vs. aluminum construction.

There's no wrong answer here. I'd go more with what looks good to you and how much you want to spend.

Did you ever consider the Steeda CAI/tuner package with the high flow elbow. I have it on min and love it.

Actually, I don't think I've heard ANYONE say they didn't like their CAI & tune, regardless of WHICH one they have. Don't sweat over which one. Pick one you think is pleasing to your eyes and wallet and buy from a vendor that you feel comfortable with.
