This intake is a knockoff of the AEM bruteforce, mopar, and spectre intakes for a lot less http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/de...V4401181K.html
A few other good mods from what others have said are a fastman TB @ http://www.thefastman.com , jba headers (airram.com), underdrive pulley from asp, and maybe an e-fan (airram.com). Search some in this forum for a little more info on them.

i dont think you should really be caring about 1/4 mile times with a V6.
did you choose it?

my best was 17.4 with ebay cold air intake w/ k&n and flowmaster muffler, but I know it can do better next time (if i bring an air tank so i can air the tires back up), was boiling the **** outta the tires on takeoff, and would the damn tires would spin when i hit 2nd and 3rd gear(manual tranny)
