What do you guys think?

Should I get a full CAI like C&L or JLT, or get the PHP Spacer and a drop in K&N(With removed snorkel)?

Which would gain more HP/TQ

Which CAI will provide the most gains for a good price? (Without a ton of stalling issues.)

Thanks!

I'd get both. A full CAI and the PHP intake spacer to maximize the power increase.

+1 plus since they're both doit yourself mods, u won't have to worry about payin extra money for install. Some cars react differently to mods then others but for what it's worth, I've had zero stalling issues with my CNL CAI and trueflow TB pipe. I mostly chose it for looks over the others but I think they all produce similar results.

I install anything except tranny parts myself.

I ended up getting a JLT CAI for now. (Also got a Steeda Tri-Ax, Mac Off-Road H-Pipe, and SLP LM1 Cat-Back.)

Awesome, JLT is supposed to be a nice kit. Can't argue with your other mod choices so far either.

Yeah, good choice on the LM-1. I have a PHP spacer still in the box awaiting installation when it cools off to below 100 degrees every day, and I can stand to be outside a while.
