.....No you don't need mass air unless your going to build the motor to the point where you want to put some good performance heads & cam , then MA will help you alot , but for a mild build SD is fine , if you have the 5.0 the stock intake is very good & you could find more power in an exhaust change...Lew

....Long tubes will give you more TQ than the shortys , but the rest of the exhaust needs to be replaced to , the stock pipes are very restricktive , if your going to do a MA swap do it before you do the heads & cam , with SD you don't have alot of cam choices because the more aggressive cams don't give you enough vacuum to work well with SD...Lew

i had already bought the cam a few years ago. its a very mild cam more less a towing cam but maybe a little more aggresive i dont remember the specs just that it was for my year truck and motor. the stock exhaust is gone i replaced all the exhaust years ago but am gonna redue it all soon
