Speaking from experience, I disagree.

I found the CAI to give a greater power boost than SRI.

And while the peak gains (at 5750 rpm) with an AEM are only 3hp or so, think of the 9hp gain (with 13 ft-lb of tq) you get at 3500 rpm. I didn't get that with my SRI.

PS - I know these numbers are on a Ralliart, but AEM dyno stats show 4 hp with SRI and 12 with CAI. Just food for thought.
