Question is, do you want to make power on the dyno or on the street/track or both? Intakes like PMAS and to a certain degree the DMak one make great power on a dyno with the hood open and a huge fan blowing air directly into the air filter, but suffer on the street with high IATs and less airflow. Other intakes such as the Steeda closed box or the CJ CAI are much more consistent and make good power on the street also:
My vote is for the CJ CAI:
I believe that's the supercharged intake, but with a different coupler to make the 45* bend up to the oval throttle body. You can buy those types of step down/transition couplers from several websites.
Oh that's not my car, I just found those pictures online. I have no clue who's car it is unfortunately but I'm sure it can be tuned to be run fine. Maybe not 100% stock like, but it should be fine.
This comes with the entire housing or does it need the stock bottom end? Also why is it called "race only"? Are there driveability issues for daily street usage?Steeda has the CJ Intake & CAI available ... works very well on the Steeda Silver Bullet!

Do you often drive through 2 feet of standing water? If so then yes this intake would become an issue, and might I say if you have that kind of water in your neighborhood you have much bigger issues than your engine hydrolocking
