I ran better with my stock intake + K@N drop in than the typhoon.

I'm not at all surprised... Mike had the same experience with AirAid.

I have an AirAid and even though I will more than likely end up with the Fastlane CIA it's worth noting that the top 3 SHO members  in the 1/4  all run AirAid  .... just a thought 
2013 SHO  ....  not mine anymore

Well, here are my personnal results with CAI and stock air box.  Ran car at BSD test and tune this past sat.  Weather was nice and track conditions were good.  Ran first pass with K&N CAI and did 13.47 @ 102. Took car back to pits, swapped CAI for stock box and K&N panel filter.  Went back and car ran 13.32@103.  I couldn't believe it, but there it was, ran another run and ran 13.39, also realized I still have TRAC Control still on.  Car had LMS Stage4+ in when I did those runs.  I've been reading the posts about this debate and wanted to see for myself, and wife said wow too.

With meth I think... overcomes a lot with the added HP.

IMHO...The most valid testing as far as performance is comparison of just the intake system as a variable.

I read the description on their website as it says something about Windstorm in one of their packages...
no image but it says something about a new tube and an airbox, not an open filter

Hmmmm

I have the Airaid on my Flex, sounds cool but the rubber gasket is a joke, not even close to the bottom of hood. My intake air temp will climb from 100 to 155/60 just sitting in staging. seriously thinking about ditching it and modding stock airbox but with a non oiled filter. Turbos pull WAY more air thru filter and will suck oil out of it. I thought I read somewhere about Ford voiding turbo warranty because oil gums up turbos?
Koolaid drinkin, Flex drivin !!

Take a look at the Fastlane cai thread.

I have "stumbled" upon some info as to why the OEM performs better.

Here is the modified air box I did.  Someone else did it too on his MKS, used PVC pipe, but I used 3" intake flex pipe.  It was very tight under the left front head light assembly, that's why I used the flex pipe.  Going to order a Frogzskin breathable filter to help keep out bugs and other big debris.  Frogzskin is used on newer snowmobiles too keep out snow and snowdust.
