My personal opinion... there's little advantage to running a CAI unless you are a rather aggressive driver. The average person would infrequently be in the RPM range where a CAI would actually make a difference. We've seen dyno numbers both with and without a CAI and they are often identical until you hit about 3500 RPM and then they separate to a final difference of about 8 HP.
You're probably better off just getting a good tune and if you really want to improve airflow, remove the snorkel from the fender to the flex coupling on the intake. That'll give you the same benefit without worrying about lean conditions or water-fouling your filter. Take care.

Thanks for the info Bill, I'm thinking that may be the way I go for now. I'd like to improve my truck's response and shifting, but would like to be able to go back to the dealer for service without any issues. I managed to get them to throw in all my regular service as part of the purchase deal as well as the 100,000 mile warranty and don't particularly want to get "the stink eye" from the dealer when I show up with a bunch of bolt on mods.

I have removed the snorkel on my '05 and it has seemed to help. I also do not need to worry about drone and lean conditions.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the way I'm gonna go too. I think I'm gonna do the Gotts mod, then yank the new nose off when I go to the dealer and play dumb. My snorkel is missing? Really?!?!?

I'd blame it on the nargles (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix)
What could they possibly say to THAT?!?

All you would get is a :lookaround1: while they though about it for a sec. The look alone would be worth it.

Bill can't totally tune out the drone on the S&B -- I believe it's the only one he can't get to quiet down. :covermouth:
