Money elsewhere

Is better spent.

I had both on SVXs I have purchased. They are both crap, get something useful instead.

How about none of the above?

If you add about $20 to your budget you could buy a Stage One ECU Module from www.ecutune.com.

My $.02.

well if i had to pick it would be the cold air... short ram decreases performance because it takes in more hot air then the stock air box... but nothing beats the sound of a unrestricted air filter!

The factory airbox setup provides more than enough flow for the SVX's engine. There is no reason at all to "upgrade" this area of the car, as pretty much anything you do will either hurt performance, or have no effect at all.
