I just went through this myself. Go with the aFe momentum gt.
Airaid MIT/Jr kits are worthless on the 2016+ models, making minimal gains.
Volant will require alot of tuning to correct lean conditions, and only make minimal gains over the aFe.
Especially with a tune planned, AfE is your best bet.

Oh and save that $100 you want to give GM for the BBP tune, they can fix your tire ratios along with everything else.

This. Except I'm going with a local tuner in the bay area

well i think i pretty much decided after doing some thinking last night. I am keeping this truck the way she is. i am not very happy with the parts gm used, i would have done a different setup on most things. it runs and drives pretty great trans sucks though (manual mode fixes most of that) and can get 19mpg on my 33" tires. if the road allows it, while i want more power from the 5.3 its not worth it at the same time.

the exterior mods are still in the air, (bed liner, grill guard, etc) but i doubt they will happen as well. those are a needed item but still find it hard to hit the checkout button.

i guess this will be my last post for modding advice, i appreciate yalls advice that you have given me.

Wise choice young man - enjoy the dependability - and keep some funds in the bank.
