Default BBK CAI or Vararam??

What CAI is better for 05 Z51 auto BBK or Vararam? Pros/cons. Also is a FAST intake a good match with either one? Only Mods I have are Corsa Sports. Corsa claims a HP gain, but seems as though everyone here says no gain from the exhaust. Thanks

How big of a difference did you feel? How much faster did those mods make your car?
