Default Hypertech vs Air Intake

I'm new to auto performance, but was wondring what would give me more HP and better performance. I plan on doing both eventually, but right now which boosts performance better, a Hypertech programmer or a K&N air intake system?

Thanks,
Jon

definitely get the intake. the hpp3 only shows gains on some cars. Some people have seen a loss in power with it. More air is always a good thing, so get intake. Are you thinking about a lid/filter combo or what?

I don't know what the lid/filter combo is, but the thing I was thinkin about was a cone type deal by K&N or something similar. It replaces the standard box with the airfilter in it.
