I think you underestimate the e-RAM. The amount of air it will move through an open-ended pipe is around three times the Zetec's maximum consumption. If there were a way to fit it into your intake, I bet it would give you gains.

mods so far: CTA intake with homemade heat shield, KVR drilled front rotors & carbon pads w/ 500° fluid
planned mods: exhaust (want to keep it quiet), e-ram (awaiting installation), diablo chip
involuntary mods: compression increased after head gasket failure
