Default which should be my next mod intake or programmer?

Which should i do next and which one will give me the most overall deal with power and a little better mpg? Was either looking at a k and n 57 series cai or a superchips 3815 programmer.

normal progression of the 1st three mods should be catback exhaust, CAI and tuner. In that order...

Personally, if I had to choose one I would choose tuner. I feel like you getter bang for the buck with it. Plus, with an intake you bolt it on and you are done. With a tuner you have options that you play with to adjust how your truck runs. But I don't think you can go wrong with either one whichever you decide to go with.

+1 for tuner. i really don't think an intake has much to offer relative to a tuner.
