Also, the Boss IM is not in my plans. Not a fan of the low end TQ loss, and since I will be going with a PD blower in the future, no reason to even install it now.

Personally I think you are over thinking it. If I were to go with a closed element CAI, I would keep the stock Boss box...but thats just me. Maybe do a dyno day in the near future and have a buddy with an open element CAI swap with you between runs. I am sure your tune can be adjusted for the other CAI with ease. At least you could see the difference (in cooler weather) btw your closed K&N and an Airraid/JLT/C&N/etc.

I would love to do that, but I would have to get a decent deal on some dyno time at a shop to do so, that way I would have time to swap intakes and tunes between each run. A dyno day is too fast paced to do that.

Also, I'm an engineer. Over thinking is under thinking. Haha

HAHA...I know many engineers...I did this on my 07 back in the day pre cam and boost. Swapped between the C&N, stock and JLT III on 3 separate runs. At least with my aftermarket tune at the time I could see the gains from both open element CAI's.
