Default Hypertech vs Air Intake

I'm new to auto performance, but was wondring what would give me more HP and better performance. I plan on doing both eventually, but right now which boosts performance better, a Hypertech programmer or a K&N air intake system?

Thanks,
Jon

definitely get the intake. the hpp3 only shows gains on some cars. Some people have seen a loss in power with it. More air is always a good thing, so get intake. Are you thinking about a lid/filter combo or what?

I don't know what the lid/filter combo is, but the thing I was thinkin about was a cone type deal by K&N or something similar. It replaces the standard box with the airfilter in it.

with the truck i'd say get the HPP3, you'll see more gains from it than an intake IMO

however, if you do go intake, get a UPD
