I like my K&N 77 series, after 4 years, no complaints.

yeah i found a place that has one of these for $175 shipped so i was debating on that... and getting a used hypertech power programer III since i found one for $100 or just take that cash and get a different programmer with the $275.

Whatcha think?

Look for a used edge, there are 2 edge models for our trucks, I have had both, and my truck ran about the same at the strip with each one,(10.75(old)10.74(new) in the 1/8) Unless you just WANT the dash mounted model, the handheld is the way to go. And I sold mine a while back for $150, so they are very affordable. But the intake sounds like a good deal, I got mine when they first released the 77 series, and it was $238.

i sold my k&n cai and ran the "gotts intake"

for those about to slam it, there are plans to get some dyno sheets comparing some of the "top" cai's against the Gotts
