I have a setup similar to the K&N. If you tune for it, you can see real world results. I picked up 19rwhp and 15rwtq.

it just changes the lid on your stock box to make the airflow smoother. i like it because its a true cold air intake. my open element would get heat in there even with the heat shield sealing against the hood. everyone seems to agree that the factory box can flow plenty air, and that the cooler the air that you take in the better.
alot of people have problems with the clear and carbon fiber kits cracking but i havent seen many complaints from the black one. do a search, theres tons of info in these forums.

I've got the K & N Generation II FIPK on my truck. I've got the black plastic tube on mine. Had it for quite some time. I've been happy with it. I don't know how much power it'll pick you up, but when it's nice and clean you can deffinately hear it sucking some air when you give it some throttle. I know it helped.
A buddy of mine has the VaraRam kit with the ram-air. It seem okay, but I doubt he'd spend the money for it again. He had the same K & N that I had. Although nothing is wrong with the VaraRam in my opinion, I doubt you'll see much of a gain , if any over the K&N.
Just my experiences with the two.
