cold air intake

[Ohio Tahoe]

I have a 2005 Tahoe with a 5.3.
I would others input about throttle body spacers and cold air intake set ups.

Are the worth the money?
What kind of MPG increase can I expect to gain?
What brand?

I have been looking at the Air Raid set up.

CAI's are worth it but I won't get into the long dissertation on the spacers and why they aren't worth the material they are made from.

+1. Do a search, these CAI's threads are beaten to death.

yes, many many threads on both of these items, throttle body spacers are a waste , unless your planning a NOS fogger system.... lol

many people on here like the AEM brute force... for me, i just dont know if i can spend 3 yards on an intake setup... i already have the K&N replacment filter and plan to put strait tube from the factory air box to the intake manifold.... than i think i will mod the factory air box to allow more/colder air in...

the drop in K&N prolly gave me almost 1mpg better alone
