Default Full CAI or Airriad MIT?

I have been looking at CAI systems and came across the airriad mit. They said that it is better and gives more performance gains than a full cai kit. Is this true? And I am getting the tb spacer form poweraid will it give me some more power? Its going on a 04 1500 with the 5.3.

More power-no an annoying whistle-yes on the tbs. As for a CIA, I have the full K&N FIPK kit on mine and other than noise and a meaner sounding exhaust I can tell no difference. Power-unnoticeable, mileage-pretty much the same, cost-way to much for broken promises. Go with the airraid mit with a good drop in filter.

CAI isn't gonna be noticeable. But airaid MIT and drop in filter provides the best results. Think it was like 10hp versus 6hp on a full cai

Ok sounds like im going to order the MIT then and the tb spacer. I already have a exhaust so I gues the only thing I need now is a tune and maybe a cam later lol. What is the best place to get my truck tuned at? I have heard that blackbear was the best but dunno.

Don't waste money on a tb spacer. You will so no results at all. And yeah blackbear does great work.

Ok I got another question, How much power gains would I notice if I got some lt headers? I can get some pacesetter Quick Trip LT for 305 shipped.
