buy a short ram intake. the bypass valve will save your engine from hydro lock, but negate any performance gains. a short ram intake will give you the most noticeable increase in hp, compared to a cai with a bypass valve. if you don't believe me, and get the cai any ways, then do yourself a favor and get one with a bypass valve. i gambled and lost once already. just my .02
