I wouldn't bother with the intake. It doesn't buy you much. Just more dirt IMHO. I love my MBRP 4inch exhaust. If you aren't keen on emissions you may want to look into a Fingers stick (for fooling the computer into thinking you still have an egr hooked up) and a EGR blocker plate. Also a front pipe to replace the cat (can be purchased with some of the aftermarket exhaust systems).

Stock engines won't see a big gain with an intake.
Heck, a lift pump will show a bigger gain.

Free up the exhaust and run a tune up to 85HP. If you're happy, then stop. If you are stoopid? Then I can tell you where to go from there.

I saw more mpg with my S&B filter kit than I did with a 4" exhaust, but the exhaust did sound good.

Do a search on air filters and get ready for lots of reading. By the time you are done reading, you will save the $50 and run your stock AC Delco filter...

The edge won't adjust the speedo for larger tires, it won't remove the speed limiter etc. That is part of the reason some run both. Some also stack the 2 to add more power then one alone would add. You will need transmission upgrades to handle any more then 80-90hp over stock.

Edge/Attitude can't unlock the 120mph speedo limiter and can't reset the speed/DIC for different sized tires. Also, Predator can provide TON's of real time diagnostic data as well as read/clear codes.
