    I can't remember where I saw it but there was a article here on the towrig that discussed different air intake manifolds. If I am not mistaken it was a three way shoot out. The CFM+, the arc flow by ATS Diesel, and the Blade runner you are looking at. First place went to the CFM+. Second place when to the ATS Diesel and last was the Blade Runner by AFE. Now if memory serves the ATS did not loose out by much to the CFM+ and it has three pre-drilled and tapped holes for the aftermarket items you have suggested.

    Yeah, I posted that. I will try and find it. The CFM+ gave the best midrange power improvement. In all reality, any of them will help increase velocity into the intake on the motor. The CFM+ is a nice looking unit and is reasonably priced.

    EDIT - Here is the thread -
