In this case, I'm going with, if it ain't broke don't fix it, I don't see enough benefit for the conversion.

As for the intake, haven't figured out what I want to use, I'm not a fan on K&N Filters, they don't filter out as much as OEM filters do, so I would get the kit but end up looking for a suitable replacement that filters out enough.
I would recommend doing the Gotts mod with a K&N drop in if you want a performance gain on a budget. We did it on my friends truck last night and it really improved the power. It replaces the restrictive inlet in the fender with a freer flowing piece.
Minus the filter it only cost $10 to do

We've always had good luck with K&N in our trucks, all of our trucks currently have a K&N filter and they work better than stock, even on the drop ins.

I recently started looking at getting the materials I need, it'll end up around 15", since I have to buy a full length of pipe that I prefer to use, the PVC Sewer pipe has thinner walls and deforms easier as well, I kinda wish I didn't have to buy the whole thing just to throw away most of it.

Gotts Mod Complete
Just completed the Gotts Mod, fairly pleased over all. I could tell that there was an improvement in throttle response, and a little increase in power.
I found out that the inlet into the airfilter housing was a little bit bigger than 3", maybe 3 1/8" to 3 1/4" I didn't measure it, but that's what I found out.
