at this point i want to know if a CAI system will still be beneficial since i have the gryphon installed, if i can get 5hp and cooler air i probably will invest in one, otherwise its a k&n filter.

oh and does a cai system come w a new MAF or no? because dont u need a maf that can read more air flow to really get the most out of an intake?
IMHO, you'd be better off if you did the Gotts mod and saved the money.

Regarding the IAT, check out this test from Banks. You can read the test parameters here: Banks Power | 04-08 Ford - F-150 V6 & V8>>Banks Ram-Air® Intake System
