For me it all boils down to $/hp...so starting with the best avail ratios:
1. NoS 75-150rwhp/$500-1500 = $7+/rwhp
2. Blower 100-125rwhp/$4000 (used MP122/112) = $40/rwhp
3. Custom Tune 25-40rwhp/$250-500 = $10+/rwhp
4. Heads & Cam 75-100rwhp/$2000-2500 = $20+rwhp
...tho all of these are expensive one time investments the amount of rwhp they yield keeps the ratio low. If u apply the same equation to CAI it becomes one of the most expensive mods (IMO
). Most people start here cause of the lower initial investment but why spend $300+ when ull get 75% of the benefits from basic changes or simple filter change? These mods are what u do LAST when ur scraping together the final few ponies to maximize the performance of one of the ones above...CAI 2-5rwhp/$300-350 = $60+/rwhp...prob is SOTP won't notice this!

I know it was overpriced, but I liked the cfm and air temp charts Banks offers as proof.
