Windshield wiper nozzles,

So I've seen the yes's and no's about CAI, and a lot of suggestion for the deck plate mod. I'm wanting to get the AFE CAI over the deck plate because I live in Denver, and travel in the Rockies quite a bit. A lot of 10-11k ft elevation driving. I plan on finishing the throttle body, headers and exhaust, but will the high flow air intake help with the higher altitude's where there's not as much oxygen? I'm really looking to improve the drive up some of the steeper hills, and thought best first improvements would be CAI and sparks as I have no idea if they were ever changed out. Thoughts?

Oh and I chose CAI over deck plate because I don't want to mess with snow and muddy water in my filter...am I wrong in that thinking?
