If the cost is not that bad I would do it. You should see slightly better throttle response as well as a small improvement in mileage, but nothing spectacular. The only minus to me is the cost in comparison to the amount of performance gain.

I just installed a K & N FIPK 77 series on my 4.3 yesterday and I felt a difference. With the original Air intake the truck would respond ok. But now I can press the gas and the truck howls :o and gives my lil 4.3 v6 some noticeable power and response. Im hoping on noticing some improvements on my gas milieage by the next full tank. Now, about the cost. I was looking on the web for about a month for the best price on this K&N CAI FIPK 77 series. And I found it for $184 on Amazon. Everywhere else was about $280 and up, I went to my local Autozone, Pepboys, O'reiley's, and Napa and they where all in the $300's. So I think I got a pretty good deal. I think you should get it, but for sure look for it online for a cheaper price.
