K&N sucks, Literally

I was expecting a better throttle response but all i got was a better sound. Anyone got any ideas to improve it without installing an s/c

 

Not surprising. The stock intake is already cold-air.

 

The best way to improve it is to take it off and sell it, then put your stock intake on. You can actually change the order of that any which way you'd like with the same results. Go ahead and try that and let us know what you find.


Edit: Sorry, my mistake. You WILL have to take it off BEFORE you put your stock intake back on, you can't switch those. However, you can sell it at any point, either before, in the middle, or after.

 

Damn, you caught your mistake before I could call you out on it.

 

Yeah ive noticed. Thanks. Im definitely changing something.

 

Howard Johnson is right!

This is your only hope, then do headers, performance Y pipe and exhaust, and that will help greatly.

 

I was just looking into that MAF Cal. but is that all id need to install it without screwing up my truck. Sorry i dont know a whole lot about electronics in trucks.

 

Well, Then i would suggest putting on the stock Intake, and leaving it be. With the MAF calibrator, you have to splice the ECU harness and solder in place, not for the novice DIY individual. Anytime you start with power adders, you run the risk of damage.
Pay to Play!!

 

Thanks for the suggestions.

 

Coincidently, I'm selling my AFE stage 2 SI because I just bought an S/C

 

This will get you where you need to be if you dont not want a super charger!!
