from what i hear ... the short ram adds somewhere between 4-6 and the cal adds 8-12... also after you get the filter.. you can use a k&n filter ... that will help too...
i myself will be going with the injen cal... with k&n filter....
till i get a turbo that is.(omg)

Fact 1: Short Rams give quicker throttle response and better initial torque but lack top end power
Fact 2: Cold Air Intakes give better midrange torque and top end power HP, but don't feel as quick as the short ram.
Fact 3: You can expect anywhere from 4-6 whp from both. The difference is in the mid range, but unfortunately, you wont be able to tell unless you strap your car to a dyno.
My final thoughts, you'll probably want the Short Ram Intake from AEM. Since the MHP which came in Carbon Fiber isn't available anymore. I base these facts off of my experiences with both of my Civics and my first car the pimped out 93 Mercury Tracer LTS
Also, from the many dyno sessions I've witnessed.

so your saying ... with a short ram... its better off the line... but cold air is better for the mid to higher speeds...
so short ram better for quarter mile?
and cold air is better for highway driveing?
