Default Anybody Use the Banks Ram Air CAI Setup?

Ive been looking at different options for a CAI, and i like the design of the vararam tri power, but just not sure i want to drop that much and have to question vararams quality. I was looking at different ones on summits website and came across the Banks Ram Air setup and they have a super scoop that goes under the bumper and it looks like a really high quality kit and looks good under the hood.

Just looking for some feedback if anybody has ever used one on there 99+ gas burner truck.

http://www.bankspower.com/products/show/308/10

They show three part numbers, one for 99-07 trucks with electric fans one for 99-07 without electric fans and 99-07 suvs without electric fans, and list for 359 to 394 from summit and around 358 on ebay, but that doesnt include the lower scoop.

AEM brute force 350 for a intake isn't worth it IMO

as far as that goes, the stock box probably does as well as just about any cai, but the banks kit does look good if you don't mind being a billboard.

Essentially it's exactly the same as doing an Airbox Mod. (cutting out the side of your stock box)
