Deckplate mod question ???

Where do you guys get these? 4in or 6in ? I got a 1996 2.7 liter I want to try this on.

 

Amazon.com or a boating supply store. got mine at a local kayak store

 

^What he said

4" on my 2.7L

 

Local boating store.

Look for a 4" deckplate. (BLACK)

Then buy *SENSOR SAFE* Black RTV Sealant, and screw/seal it together.


Judging by location: Temple, GA

Go to west georgia marine in Carrollton

 

ebay $6.00

 

I went to a bunch of different places (Autozone, Pep boys, home depot, etc) and nobody even knew what a deckplate was. So dont try those places. Like people above have said, boating/marine stores are perfect.

 

Still don't know if it's worth it.... Cant decide on my 3.4L.

 

if you dont wanna cut your airbox just do what myself and others have done ... elbow removal mod and a high air flow filter work just great.

 

Do it. There is almost no risk since you can just screw in the cap and its back to stock. Why would you not want to do it?

 

I don't know how the 2.4/2.7 airbox is mounted but for the 3.4, you can just do the elbow mod and not cut up your box like stated above. I read Gadget's dyno on these and I think the elbow mod was only 1-2hp behind the deckplate mod.

 

I bought a black/clear insert deckplate today.

I'd rather have it reversible 100% to stock (configuration), if I don't like it, I'll just toss the lid in and forget it.

 

Went to the local marine supply store and they had them in various sizes. I got the black 4" one. It's a pretty simple install on my 3.4L. Had all done in an hour. I can definitely tell the difference especially at highway speed when you put your foot in it to pass or are on an incline.
