Default AREA 51 & BB, SRT, or AEM w/ S-AFC-R?

hello everyone..
i need help on chosing between these 3 intakes..

1. AREA 51 intake and Black Box
2. Srt intake
3. AEM intake with Apexi Super AFC-R

which combo gives the most power?? and if i plan to add and exhaust, which one would be best in your opinions?

also, anyone do the AEM / Apexi AFC combo out there?? dyno ?? gains?? is the apexi something that i can control from inside the car?? (can i switch settings from inside car while driving??

thanks alot!!!

I have the AFC AEM combo.

Potental gains on all the options is similar but the the AFC can be tuned to take advantage of additional mods not just the intake. I plan on doing the whole thing intake/pulleys/cam gears/exhaut. So I went with the AFC. So I think the decision is based on what other mods u plan on doing. and the availability of a shop to tune it for U.

ok, ill let everyone know..
as of right now , risk3233 and I are going for the same setup..
aem intake w/ aepxi afc..
im not sure which afc he is getting, but i like the best, so i think im gonna get the SUPER APEXI AFC-R..
i just think that if u are gonna get some computer/ electrical stuff, do it to the max..( price difference is 300 afc/500afc-r)

BTW, i also have coming the prolex heat shield.
that should help as well with AEM open element intake..

i am also gonna use intake first w/o apexi (but with heat shield) jsut to see / feel what it is like., when i feel comfortable with AEM intake, then ill add the aepxi afc-r
