I'm looking at either a volant or a s&b cold air intake. Anybody have any suggestions as to which one may be better than the other? And has anyone ever used one of the JET chips?

Don't get a jet chip. Garbage from what I've heard. As far as intakes, they're pretty much both well recommended. Those and the vararam intake.

I just don't like the way the vararam intake looks and they are kind of pricey too. Is the super chips still the best thing for a 2003?

I put a SPECTRE cold air intake on my '05. Cost me like $150, looks and sounds GREAT. Saw a little improvement in throttle response, as for any other improvements I figure I will have to put a tune in it, which I have NOT done yet. But for the intake, I've been very pleased with mine.

I'd get a diablo predator for that truck, I have a superchips on my dakota it's very primative. You can find unmarried predators on ebay most of the time.

What's the difference between the predator and the superchips?

You can get custom tunes and tweek on it more than a superchips programmer.

Not much more since it's an 03. Because of the crap PCM they have, custom tunability is very limited.
