Default More power: round air cleaner or CAI?

I have a 98 sport with the stock CAI, would i gain power from switching to a round air cleaner or an aftermarket cold air intake?

Truck is used for drag racing on weekends and is a DD

No offense, but lets not open this can of worms again. This subject has already been discussed to death.

And many more are available than just those two. Use the search function at the top of the page, you'll find 'em.
