Go with the Injen SRI. You don't need a CAI. The turbo will heat the air up anyways. Invest in a good BFMIC also. You also don't have to worry about sucking in water with the SRI.

Save your money and stick with the stocker. If it's good enough for stg 3 peeps pushing 370 on high octane mode, it's more then good enough for most ppl. The only gains you might see come from the flow, not the air temp, as our cars adjust boost accordingly. I had an AEM Sri, was the biggest waste of moola. Only good thing about it, it free'd up some room under the hood. Sounding like a semi gets old real fast.If you HAVE to do something to the intake, do the hood mod, mod the scoop insert and remove the air box lid when you want the sound. I'm back to the stock box and it runs better with that then it ever did when I had the SRI. The hood mod will provide you with cool airflow over the filter at speed.....

I am still running my stocker...had a SRI and it was killing my boost pulling the hot ass engine heat into it.
Well yes and no...the CAI mounts a filter in the wheel well with out the restriction of the stock air box's non 360 degree filter/air intake (filter square and sealed in half)..also your PVC valve cover is pumping oil into you air box and into the engine..yes a catch can will elim. this. My CAI is ALOT larger by about 2 inches in diam. and runs where you battery is soo straight flow few bends..the stocker bends like 4 times and is pressed up against the engine only making the charge air hotter...check www.modernperformance.com and see the dyno diff. between stock and ICEMAN CAI and you see over +13HP AND 12 torque so this is no doubt the stock air box is restrictive and harmful to the motors longeveity with the oil recycleing action it performs. Also with a correctly modded engine the car controls no boost or timing no matter what temp..such as my ride the car controls none of my fuel, boost, pull timing function so CAI is VERY important in this case. I use no stock turbo selinodes! I can help any SRT4 owner to make huge power with min. money if you guys want help..listen to some imput..or have me come to your house to help you with a build up free..let me know..We can all learn from each other.

So if your not 4 wheeling it don't worry.

Couldn't agree with you more. I need to get some type of management system for mine to contol all that shit, granted im pushing mid 350hp range, but want to break that....AGP 60 goes on order the end of the month hopefully....masta you can come help me install it. I am also going to order there fuel system upgrade with it and the return fuel line kit....then its off to buy a clutch. After is all said and done, I want to be right at 500 HP..
Ya...I ordered the Hahn Racecraft Super 20G TODAY..get in 5-7 days..Now all I need is my Alky injection (Boost cooler-Snow perfrmance) and I will be doing alright
