An intake system will get you about 0 gains, in fact when the engine bay gets hot you will probably lose horse power from heatsoak. The best and really only things you can do is get a chip and a full exhaust system for a gain of about 30 horse power.
PES is working on a new supercharger to put on a 4.2L V8 which should be pretty stout.

The intake wont do a thing for you but give you a nice little sound under the hood.

Best bet is to wait on the new supercharger and possibly play with the no horsepower related mods like suspension and tailights and stuff. Being a 2.8 owner I'm sort of in the same boat.

The 2.8 and 3.0 supercharger kits from PES are about 5 grand. Not sure how much the 4.2L is gonna be though.

I'll bet the price will be about the same as the 2.8 and 3.0. But just a little more since it is for the bigger motor. But hey, I have no idea.
