I really like the outcome of the brake discs because they don't appear to be aftermarket, instead they do look as if they are an OEM part. I'm driving to Long Island later, so I'll get a feel for the CAI system.

I'm curious if there's any noticeable added power, especially given the claims of 30-38 hp increase.

Doubtful, but he was trying to get a before/after dyno. Don't know if that happened.

Any difference in the brakes? Did you get new pads, what type? Can you provide part numbers?

I was driving the car hard on the Long Island Expressway on Saturday night. I think the active exhaust overpowered any extra whining that could come from the blower. Plus, my engine cover is attached which insults the S/C whine sound. Probably would be much more pronounced if the cover is removed.
That's my take on the whine sound.

I didn't change brake pads. Jaguar tech said absolutely no need to change or switch pads especially since i only have 1400 miles of use. Tech told me to be patient with brakes as they have to be broken in.
