fact, I'm waiting for their SRI to come out, but they haven't produced it yet since the MAF #'s are getting thrown off. Same goes for the GM performance upgrade ...coincidence as to why it isn't out yet?

When you have a screwed up MAF % it can throw off your A/F ratios, too high and your lean, too low and your rich, both of which can tarnish the reliability of the engine in the long run.

Fact...but proper install and a well designed intake will work... The key is no leaks... I am waiting to see what CIA comes up with...but in the mean time I have installed a Hahn CIA with no problems (and the intake even has the smooth breather nipple)...however the pipe had to be aligned perfectly with no error for proper functioning....

People say both way but facts don't lie and CIA and Vince from trifecta have datalogged all aftermarket intakes and they do have turbulence which is not good.

regardless of what intake you get your going to need a tune to get the full potential from it. tuning the car can also help getting rid of the problems with the intakes aswell.
