Re: cold air intake
None of them. They all add nothing to a stock engine. Your stock intake is designed handle the required airflow.

Re: cold air intake
No gain on a stock engine. The only benefit is that they are reusable. However given that a normal one costs $4 with no risk of gumming up your intake, I don't see it is a benefit.
All that stuff you heard is marketing bullshit.

Re: cold air intake
nothing will be noticeable enought to justify spending the money on it. I use a K&N drop in for the simple fact that I can clean it and do not have to buy a new paper filter every time. Does it add HP? Maybe. Do i notice a power increase/HP? No. If I did its all in my head lol. Dont waste your money

Yup. And that maybe if anything minimal gain MPG will NEVER actually off-set what the programmer cost. So for the purpose of MPG gains, it is self-defeating.
The only way to add MPG is to alter your driving style and keep the truck properly tuned up. There is nothing you bolt-on or pour-in that will magically increase your MPG. It doesn't work like that.
