Panel Filter or AEM Intake Kit With FP RED Setup

I have the following setup below being installed at the shop.

1. FP RED
2. Cossworth MX1 Cams
3. Nisei Upper and Lower IC Pipes
4. Nisei Intake Kit For Stock Airbox
5. AMS Widemouth 02/ Downpipe Combo
6. UR Test Pipe
7. 5 Zigen Dual Catback Exhaust
8. ACT Heavy Duty Clutch Upgrade
9. TTP 2400cc High Impedance Injectors
10. Blaqops Double Pump Setup with MAF Controller
11. AGP Intercooler
12. Run E-85 and Boost around 35PSI on the RED

I want the engine bay to look like stock as possible hence the matte black Nisei IC pipe and Intake pipe kit.

I wanted your opinions if it is better to just stick with a Cossworth Panel or HKS panel filter with the stock Airbox and the Nisei Intake Pipe kit.

or

Should I go with AEM intake kit?

With the 2400cc Injectors and double pump I should be able to boost 35PSI on the red.

My tuner with almost identical setup to mine has 1000cc Injectors and a single walboro pump kit running E-85. But the car ran out of fuel making around 450whp.

Recently he went with a similar double walboro pump setup, retuned the car and made 470whp, still using the 1000cc Injectors he ran out of fuel again.

Any thoughts on which intake setup I should go with?

Thanks.

AEM intake is garbage.

Go HKS or Cosworth panel filter.

Our 2400cc injectors can support 1000whp+ on E85.

Your turbo can only support around 450-500whp.

Evo X red is smaller than Evo 8-9 Red.

Go AEM or the Cosworth Panel Filter if you want to retain the stock box.

Your tuner is running his car FAT if he ran out of injector at 450hp on 1000s.

I'm curious to hear why the AEM is 'garbage' also. I personally don't see anything wrong with it. Also, it has a CARB number which makes it very attractive for anyone in SoCal.
