Get the FASS 150. It will support anything you need it to. I would also throw away the K&N and get a BHAF. What clutch are you running? If stock you will need to upgrade it before adding a tuner.

Vulcan Diesel Performance® BHAF - Big Honkin Air Filter Donaldson Duralite 4" In Lnlet No Returns

This is the BHAF much better filtration than the K&N and netter than stock.

Take it out of the loop you won't need it now. leave the filter on the block installed so your water in fuel light has a place to hook up just remove the line to the IP and cap the old filter.

Yeah you can completely remove it. It won't throw any codes. Just cover the plug end and you will be fine.

I left my factory parts on. I figure if the FASS quits, I just crawl under the truck and swap the plugs to run the OEM in tank pump and I keep the original IP to fuel line connector in my tool box so I can at least get home if I need to.
