If you go longtubes, make sure you have a plan on how you will pass smog.

The CAI I can do this month, I'd have to wait until March for the Tune. I don't like waiting, which is why I'm leaning CAI for immediate gains. And I've got the bug now, just got my exhaust and new shoes so I'm itching for more.
I'm in the process of cleaning my drop in KN filter which hasn't been cleaned in 2 years. Of course I didn't know it had one until I got the oil changed awhile back by jiffylube. They said it was clean. Today it was black and full of my tree that the truck sits under. Maybe a CAI with a box is better for me?

I dont see how the AF1 can really outperform S&B when AF1 uses the S&B filters. And as far as dynos go, you can skew numbers very easily on a dyno... I like to see dyno charts for comparison, but what was the difference between AF1 and S&B? 1-2 hp? You could dyno the same truck 3 times and get 3 different hp readings. Also, was it the same truck that had both intakes, on the same dyno, the same day?

As I said at length in another thread...I am speaking from my PERSONAL experiences with MY PERSONAL truck. I think I am going to get some tuners up on the site earlier than planned, just so I dont have to get crap when I give my PERSONAL advice.
I dont have Van intakes on my website but I gave you a quote on one yesterday... I can get tuners just as easily, but I still recommend the intake first before the tuner.

Appreciate all the replies. After some more searching, everyone seems happy with whatever intake they have, whether it's AF1, AEM, S&B, K&N, etc. As a total novice in this mod department, I'll just base my purchase on looks and price as long as I stay to the top sellers. I do know that I'll get the XcalIII though for the canned tunes while I wait, however long that will be!
