Default Airaid intake

I just bought my Z06 and it has an Airaid aftermarket intake system on it. I've heard a lot about the Halltech SuperBee and the Callaway intakes. Would the price of either of these two intakes be worth purchasing them when I already have an aftermarket intake? I'm curious how much more power they add than the Airaid.

My engine builder recommended the Airraide and my engine was strong. I am interested in the responses, too.

Not IMO. All the intakes are ok. Even stock isn't bad at all.

Sure one may make 2-3hp more than another, but no way worth spending money on.

I'd leave it alone...maybe just open up the shroud a bit to get more cold air to it (free), or add a "vette air" (~$125) to direct cold air to the intake.

I've tested almost all of them, the airaid provides some of the highest HP we've seen and the maf placement helps keep drivability as best as possible.
