Last minute reassurance

I've narrowed it all down and decided on the S&B CAI and the XCal3 with the custom tunes. Before i spend all this money, I just wanted to make sure that I will be able to tell the difference when I step on the gas pedal. So what I'm asking is, how much of a difference will I be able to tell from the stock 5.4L V8, to an engine with these modifications? Thanks

Ive noticed a good difference with just the S&B CAI. The tuner will really wake up your truck. One of my buddies has the smae setup. Im trying to get my tuner situation figured out right now. Whho did you get your tunes from?

You're talking about adding about 10% more HP and torque plus improved shifting. Just depends on how sensitive your Butt-O-Meter is.

The tunes I want to get from VMP. After reading about a million discussions on tuners and who the best are, they have me sold. I just wanted to get a final push from yall before I did it. Thanks everyone.

Definitely do it, bro. I am pretty busy atm so I went with just canned tunes (edge) and the 3" AFI CAI. It's like everyone says--like driving a different vehicle. Sooo much more fun to drive; you won't regret it! Best $$ I've ever spent.

Do it you will be very happy you did. You dont know just how much power is within and gets released by the tune.
