haha, So as you can see, it really is just a matter of opinon since you won't really see any more horsepower with one than the other. Or, since I like JLT and Dream loves K&N, perhaps that means K&N is better.

Honestly an S&B filter like JLT uses in te air can will be enough but if you insist on a system the JLT added a real amount of power to my car as per their claims, the only mod to really work. I sold mine when I got an SVO intake for my '99 GT and that is a mod that also worked

Even though they really don't do much, Steeda intake FTW.

He's right. You can also skip catbacks, headers, UDP's, Larger TB's & plenums, all together these add to about 15whp, maybe 17.
Get the gears and then cams, specifically Hitech stage 2's, that have been proven to add 45whp on stock head/intake 4.6's.
If anyone insists I have Steeda UDP's that I would sell for half what they are going for.
