Funny you guys should say that. TPR just did a huge intake shootout disproving your theories (one of my former bosses owns this magazine).
Check out all the numbers - hp, torque, top speeds - short rams (yes - with warm air from the engine compartment!) , outperformed all the CAI's tested (from the same compamnies.)

It kind of changes your outlook when you see the numbers.

The Results (Unpublished)
Published results never tell the whole story. During the test, we found some very interesting trends. All of the short-ram type intakes suffered dramatically from heat soak when we ran the dynos back to back. What does this mean? In the real world of stoplight-to-stoplight confrontations, performance on cars equipped with a short ram intake may begin to drop off as underhood temperatures rise. With the cold air systems, the horsepower results were much closer (within a half of horsepower instead of one to three horsepower.)

I just looked at what the peak number were for some of the tests it was about 50/50 for thw ones I looked at which version performed better. The K&N CAI performed better than the K&N short ram as did a couple of others. I won't buy a product based off of dyno numbers, theres too many ways to inflate the numbers all a dyno is is a tuning tool, the peak numbers mean nothing.
