The other cheap and easy things to do next if the filter isn't the problem (assuming the rig sat for awhile) is check the air box/filter to see if something built a nest in there.
Also my old 460 FI would start to plug if I sat without running for 1-2 months. First trip south where I was doing 200-400 miles ever couple of days and using good detergent gas took about 1,500 miles before that 460 really gave me it's all. Going through Mobil, AL when all of sudden that engine kicked in. Nice timing since I had to climb out of that tunnel towing a car.
