Short ram intake. A cold air isn't worth the 2-3HP that you won't feel while running the risk of hydrolock.

IMO. I would simply change to a short ram doing raining times, and during summer times, go to a cold air intake. But once again, IMO.

Short Ram, bypass valves are great and all but I've seen too many of them fail first hand despite how people say they work. No reason to risk it for minimal HP
