I have the S&B CAI on my truck... I love it.

It really opened up the acceleration and also completed the sound, paired with the exhaust. My MPGs dropped a bit though... but, you take the good with the bad...

Skip the CAI until you have the tuner you want and have a matching program. I'd recommend doing a tuner then exhaust, after that decide if you want the CAI.

Try doing the DWV mod until you decide. It only costs about 10 bucks in parts. Google it. I just did it today and the truck feels alittle snappier(could be my imagination), the Edge reports slight increased MPG. I was going to get a CAI but would rather wait and save up a functional Ram Air Hood that utilizes its own intake.
I went in order that fellow Cracker recommended, Tuner(Edge), Exhaust and the DWV for now.
