Default Intake Question

I am considering an intake. Question is, how do I really know which one offers the best performance increase? Callaway Honker claims to be best, The Vararam claims big HP numbers. I see a new Hallteck venon is available. So, how do you really make a selection with assurance, or do they all provide about the same results?

Most of my driving is now on the track. I have made some suspension changes, but nothing yet to the engine/drivetrain.

Interested to learn what some of you have experienced.

Putting on a vararam in a couple weeks. Seem to be the most popular and proven. Have heard dozens of highly positive results from guys that have them. More than any other intake!

Honker here...I'm very happy with the fit and finish, and a noticable increase in HP. If you search around, there's an article on an install and dyno results for the Honker, and I believe it was good for 18 HP to the wheels.
