well, you probably dont want to hear it, but there is NO cai that will actually give you 8-12 hp.
but yea, Dr. Speed is the way to go.
the one in the link you posted doesn't even replace the tubing that attaches to the TB.

there are other options, but seriously, i switched from CAI to WAI... and i dont notice any difference. and i dont have to worry about water/snow in my intake this winter. not that it snows all that much here anyway.

Well that one isn't going to help you too much anyway.
It leaves the plastic accordin piece on the back part right before the TB, that will rob you of some power.
Start off with WAI first, later go to a CAI

yeah now that i think about it, a WAI would be pretty nice, i think i'd get a bad ass air filter. and i'd say it would be alot easier to work on induction stuff like a new TB or a TB spacer or new UIM, with that short WAI sittin there. kinda like aplug in pull out :P

well with WAI you have TB -> coupler with 2 grommets -> MAF -> Coupler -> short angled tube -> coupler -> filter
so yea, 3 pieces of rubber, one piece of metal tubing, and a filter.... i'm not sure if you can say that it's "reliable" or "unreliable" or how you'd even classify that.. you know what i mean?
but yea, you'll get the most "gain" you can out of a WAI (or even CAI in my own personal opinion)

filter looks good, but i'm still afraid of k&n after the first encounter i had destroyed my MAF with too much oil...
and the description here scares me more! lol....
"They use a surgical cotton fabric soaked in oil as their tack barrier."
lol, SOAKED IN OIL is right.
i really do want a k&n that is oiled, but not too oiled. you know what i mean?
