CAI + Throttle body spacer

Hey, I'm thinking of putting a K&N 77 or an AEM cold air intake on my 5.4L truck next week. Which one do you think is better? Any suggestions? I am also thinking about Putting a throttl body spacer at the same time. Will this help at all? Thanks

Throttle Body spacer will do nothing at all, and we need some info on the truck. If the gotts mod is possible, I would do that.

It's just a stock 05 f150 fx4. Just cannot decide on which intake to put on er, and was thinking while I got that part already taken off I might as well put a throttle body spacer in for $70.

Don't put an intake on 05 with a 5.4, it'll run lean unless it's custom tuned.

Don't think so? Seems like such a common upgrade

Look for the Gott's intake mod in the how to section, or get an Airaid MIT like I did. No worries about being lean.

Don't have to be a ****... I didn't know anything about the subject myself. So that's why I ask people who know more about it

So the Airraid MIT is basically doing the same thing as the gotts?
