Looking at the two, at least from Brenspeed, the JLT combo with the tuner is $125 cheaper than C&L. I read that one article a while ago about performance comparisons and the C&L won over I believe. My question is: Is the C&L $125 better than the JLT?

They're both just as good, and it's been proven and proven again too many times at tracks all over the place. The C&L is just more expensive due to it's cast aluminum material vs. the JLT's plastic construction w/ billet maf housing.

JLT is a painted tube of PVC plastic vs. C+L cast aluminum.
Better durability for the metal however metal will also get hotter. C+L also offers a "true racer" option that has a pipe that is plastic for less heat transfer.
V8Power.com has them. $269 for CAI kit.
