air filter

I have a 2016 5.0l and I need a new air filter and cab filter. I have the oz tune but everything else is stock. is there much of a benefit to a filter like an AFE pro dry filter or should I just stick to the factory ford filter..I heard that you don't get much gain with the newer trucks with a cold air intake like the older trucks got. looking for opinions

The stock filter setup supports well in excess of 500hp and this has been proven on the dyno. The same filter has been in use since 2009 and its plenty good and way higher efficiency than a washable. The stock filters are cheap, I get the Motorcraft online 6 to a case for 85.00 delivered.

No gains stick with OEM.
