So, would it make more sense right now to just get a drop in replacement by k&n or amisol? I'm not planning to do too much right now but I'd like to be able to get the most out of my truck.

There are lots of opinions on that...
Let me share MY experience and then you will understand MY opinion.
I have had a PVC "******* pipe" intake, a mopar/k&n "filter on a stick" intake, a vararam "ram air" intake, and now a k&n drop in filter.
The ******* pipe and mopar/k&n gave the same performance- a slight loss of bottom end (felt while towing) and a slight gain during wot runs.
The vararam was a gain all the way around, low end to top end. The quality was a little cheesy, but it was a performer. There are some concerns when running in/near water with the low intake scoops.
Now I run a drop in. I have all of my lowend and no water worries, at least not any more than stock.
Although I have some performance mods, I am obviously not a track truck. I run 37s and I tow, so bottom end is king for me.
I am positive that one of the street guys will have a different impression of these intakes.
