didnt read thread but dont switch from short ram to full cold air intake system... some short rams can make the same power and with the full cold air you run the risk of sucking in water to your engine and exploding some shit. just keep it short ram. and weight reduction can work like a light hood, as long as you dont strip the inside because thats lame. but if you want power dont invest a lot of money in NA parts that will go to waste with a turbo, so prioritize to make sure you dont want the boost before you waste your money
