Lil Devil,
Have you seen any improvement in adding the Airaid system? Also what do you think about putting the Throttle Body extender on?

When I decided to install the Airaid I was hoping for better MPG. Haven't seen that yet after 500 miles. But I do 99% of my driving in city. Better throttle response for sure. No added noise on my rig but I have dual exhausts which are plenty loud. Power? Can't tell. Our rigs are so heavy that we would never feel 10-20 HP. Never. We would need to add much more HP on these heavy rigs before our butt dyno will feel it IMHO. I barely felt 30 HP increase on my vette but once I added 370 HP to the rear wheels I really felt it!!!
I think it is very possible to put a TB spacer using the Airaid kit since it does NOT replace the hose that goes from the MAF/filter to the TB. Other designs replace the OEM tube with a "smooth tube" which typically take up more room and with the addition of a 1 inch TB spacer would "push" the "smooth tube" towards the fan shroud area. I personally plan on adding one shortly knowing that it is all throw away anwyays once I get my Whipple installed.
Hope this helps....
