Right. Was your butt dyno in working order? I posted a video of a dyno test. Stock vs. K&N CAI on a 4.0 in the 4.0 section. Not a single person commented on it but 100+ people looked at it. He actually lost horsepower when he put the K&N on...

I have a 3.0 in mine. Most thing I noticed was a 1 mpg increase on average. And that it is loud as hell when I'm into it. Seemed to get more second gear rubber, and pulled hard for a longer stretch in rpm. Stock it pulled hard from 3000 to 4000. Now it pulls from 3k to 5k. Faster? Probably not. But it "feels" faster on the street with the smoother and longer power band.

I was just going to get a drop in so at least I have a lift time warranty filter but this was cheaper.

Did I say it was the only factor and way water will mess up an engine? No. Will it increase the risk of water being sucked in, yes. You don't have to have the truck underwater to have it intake on water. Just a big puddle at the right speed will do it.
