air intakes...which one

I'm planning on throwing an air intake and intake manifold into my '04 f350. I've been talking to a shop in Edmonton, AB, and he's pushing the S&B line, with that said the S&B intake elbow is cool as it already has ports for injection mods (meth/water, propane, etc). But my question is for the air intake itself, what is the best bang for my buck when it comes to an air intake?

thanks in advance.

x2. The stock intake has shown to have superior filtration, and enough airflow to support 550hp.

I'm running the S&b.
Dont waste your time or money. The only increase in performance was from the weight reduction of 3 $100 bills missing from my pocket.

I left the stock intake just changed to a Airaid filter and installed whats called the predator in take from Xtreme4x4. It directs more air flow. I noticed a difference and didn't spent as much as others.

Stock vote: also, there are two places behind the grill that you can cut open to give more cold air access direct to the stock filter from the front end. I find this helps with pedal response. Someday when I have time and $$$ the plan is to install a couple of 08 side vents. Seems to me more cold air in, more hot air out...

AFE intake would be my vote, but you probably wont see a lot of change
