Aftermarket CAI would probably be slightly better, but on a V6, I doubt it will be drawing enough air through them for either too be much of a restriction.

Neither. Your intake is not what's holding back your power output... it's the fact you have a small V6. No offense at all, I'm just trying to help you... But I'd totally save my money and pass on any mods to a 3.1L or any V6 for that matter.

Speaking from experience, also... only mine was a 305 so...
