Is this the one that is sheet metal and goes down in front of the radiator?

If it is people swear by a .1-.2 better T at the track. I personally have not used one. There is water issues though...some make block off plates that cover the opening uder the filter though so they can block it ff during rain.

Mark...what mods does she have so far?

Isnt it the FTRA knock off? If so, then it does NOT have water issues.. I proved it this last weekend. I went through water that was just shy of the bottom of my windows. I DID pull the rubber seal that seals the normal opening though. Water is heavier than air so itll pull air from the stock opening before it pulls water up (defeating gravity) the bottom opening. Also, I have had NO overheating issues that some claim.

Myltwon- 01 camaro, A4.

Al- She has 3.42's, Grantelli Maf(Dan's old one), and a Texas Speed and performance lid. She eventually wants longtubes and some type of offroad exhaust but not ear shattering.

Carl- I don't know. What's the FTRA look like? -Mark
Here's the cold air kit

Yeah its basically the same ( See Here except the SLP kit doesnt have the bottom piece that connects to the air dam. IMHO, Id get the FTRA instead.
