The factory setup on my 2000 5.3 doesn't look all that bad to me. Has anyone actually found more power on a dyno from an aftermarket CAI on these trucks?

of course an aftermarket intake it better...the factory is still restricted.
aftermarket would be a nice smooth 4' intake,engine gonna breathe better.
dont know on hp gains,but u can feel a little difference fo sho.
got the spectre set up it was like 120 bucks brand new, and you can hear it when you step on the gas and i get 1 1/2 miles pr gallon better, also i can feel the get up and go has gottan better. no real proof just feeling.
the night i put it on the v6, i felt a difference. i didn't really have a comparison with the v8 seein's how i never put the stock one back on
00 FRC - just top end, exhaust, and a hot-air intake

Well stock flows good with a drop in k&n. And if you like the stock look, but want little more umph and growl... do the big a$$ hole in bottom of airbox mod.

I agree with everybody else. Just go to ebay and find the $60 one that is the exact same as the spectre. I have one on my truck and it is identical to the AEM bruteforce...
