Default best intake???

ok, i have a pair of escort laser shifters in the gills where the vararam/fog lights go so i cut the license plate out and installed mesh. What is the best air intake kit out there that will line up on this huge hole in my car? water ingestion is of no concern since i cant go anywhere with the 345 DR on the back anyway....

Blackwing would probably work just fine. It just replaces the airbox and gets in plenty of air. I personally use a Vararam with my 427 but I also haven't filled up the area where the intakes go.
