NEW MOD FOR 2.7L low end grunt +++

you know the box on the intake that is right above the exhuast...it gets real hot when veh is running...think about that your intake has a huge box that gets heated by the exhuast....so i unbolted it from engine...cut the box off with a reciprocating saw and then welded up the hole in the intake tube using the part i cut off the box that has the air tube in it....tons of low end pick up and you can really hear the air going into truck now... i think this is the best mod yet... really helps....cant wait to open the deck plate up and see what happens

 

I don't think it is the same on the 2nd Gens, but I would still love to see some pics.

 

Or...you could just get a cold-air intake system They completely eliminate the box and all the intermediate connectors, etc, for a nice smooth flow tube for the air from the MAF to the manifold. I left the heat shield from the box in place for added heat shielding (duh) for the new cold air system. I can feel the added torque from 3000rpm on up. They're certainly not cheap, though.

 

yeah but on the dyno i lost 6hp with a cold air intake on a previous truck so i like to keep the stock airbox intact...even if it does have a deck plate in it...oh yeah and i measured i have a 4" deckplate...not 3.5 like i thought

 

yeah my box mod is free just takes alittle cutting and welding

 

sorry didnt think to take pictures while it was still on there..but if you have one you will know lol sorry about the pics....how people post big pics I'll never know
