    I've found that I get better mileage by just lubing the muffler bearings and putting fresh air in the tires! :D

    4'' deck plate & afe pro dry s mod!

    You can close up the air box anytime you want and still get the same performance as CAI.

    ok, maybe 1 hp less but you will be saving $200.

    I did the KnN CAI before my supercharger and all it did was make my truck very noisy. With the supercharger, I tried stock and CAI and noticed a huge difference there in favor of CAI, but not on the NA motor.
