4.7L Air Demand??

Just curious, I've noticed that after my 4x4 trips, the Dak seems a bit
sluggish, and the mpg drops a bit. Out of the blue, I decided to clean the
filter after one trip (I have a Quick D set-up) and the mpg came back as well
as the power, but the filter wasn't even that dirty looking. Now, after every
4x4 trip, I clean the filter. What I'm thinking, is the 4.7 soo starved for
air that even that minute amount of crap in the filter makes it struggle??
Maybe a bigger filter?? Some type of Ram Air?? I wonder if the 4.7 reacts
better to a s/c than a 5.2/5.9?? Just some thoughts and curious as
heck...........
