oh no. the cai intake guys will be mad. lol. you will be told the cai is for looks only and doesnt add power more than a k&n replacement filter will do. mac and bbk are good brands of intake makers. unless your talking intake manifold

well if you want to spend 150.00 dollars for looks of a chrome tube with a filter that is hard to maintain or a 50.00 drop in k&n for the same performance gain with silencer removed. either way your lookin at 1-3 horsepower

What all is done to the foxbody as is now?

Really, the best bang for the buck would be a better gear in the back.

Foxbodies came with a CAI, although not very pretty, it is effective sucking all the air from the fender separated from engine heat. A K&N slip in and the silencer removed would do the same for a lot less.

Look how small the MAF sensor housing is. Now, you did a 73mm MAF by C&L and a K&N you would definatly feel it.

edit: Lifted Tahoe, hell yeah, I drive a silverado as my D/D, actually my only vehicle right now.
