Good observation; I agree.

I designed the air induction system for these trucks and we sized it to be capable to flow for the "big block" gas engines and diesels. [I *think* the specification was 1" hg restriction at 212 g/s flow, from ambient air inlet to throttle body inlet].

Logically, there should be no improvement by going to a cold air package or K&N filter on a 4.8, 5.3 or 6.0L engine....
