Default air intake

hey guys i might have posted something about this many of times but i cant really remember. so is there anyone out there running the banks ram air cold air intake with or without the super scoop? what kind of things are you seeing? like are you seeing more power, more mileage, more of anything pretty much. im considering putting it on my truck my research and reading reviews i have found some people that dont like the banks intake and people that love it and then i saw graphs that show how good the banks is. so i just want to hear it for myself from you guys. that is if anyone is running one. thanks guys

ok thanks but i have done a bunch of research and reading reviews and i found alot more good things about banks then i did bad things. so i am going with it i dont really like any other air intake i want a true cold air intake and that means a full air box not just a heat shield. im just looking for info about the air intake? i have read alot about it but i want to hear it from people on here. thanks guys

the guy i talked to from banks said you cant use the super scoop with anything but a stock bumper and if you tow your better off not using it because its more for highway cruising unloaded. BTW im saving for the banks intake right now but when i get it installed ill let you know.
