Do mods really improve horsepower?

Wow, you got a good truck! Those things last forever

 

Spinnyboi intake will make more power.

 

I think for me that mod is done. I’m very satisfied with how the truck drives and the power that it has. I would say my Blackhawk 2.0 tune, made all the difference.

 

So I’ve been watching videos on plasti dip. And I’m kind of undecided on the finish whether to go Matt or use The metalizer. Have you used either of these?

 

Negative

My truck is bone stock except for a 2 inch lift and tires

And I drive like old people fuck

Spoiler

slowly and carefully

 

I improved my zero to sixty time by leaving my 3.5 bone stock and starting the timeclock 2 seconds after stepping on the gas pedal.

 

This thread was primarily about can mods improve horsepower. Not necessarily improving ones 0 to 60. I believe everything has already been Covered very thoroughly. I am grateful for those who gave me some very insightful feedback.

 

At 360 wheel hp, our development 3G 3.5L Auto picked up 6whp removing the OE muffler (OE manifolds and Ypipe retained)

At 400whp the factory air filter (new) in the OE airbox was within 1-2hp of an open intake with no filter installed.

 

Bruh weight reduction is what you want….. start changing all your bolts plus anything else you can find with its titanium replacement duh, carbon fiber every thing body wise… who needs those rear seats.. what under the hood don’t we need??

 

Before doing that, start by occasionally ordering a salad instead of the double baconator.

 

You guys are hilarious…keep it up!

 

What should I delete now !?

 

I’ve always used the matte kind.

The nice thing about plasti dip is you can always peel it off, it’s not permanent.

I do know a lot of folk do not like plasti dip but it worked for me just fine on 2 of my trucks.

Previous truck i plasti dipped front/rear chrome bumper and plastic chrome grille:

Held up just fine .

On my taco I plastic dipped the ugly chrome bezel surrounding the grille and my centre caps. 5 years later I have a few rock chips on the bezel but that’s about it.

 

Or just fast.

 

how much more hp? show the dyno results, thx

 

Dont sand anything. Just degrease everything and make sure it’s super clean. Plasti dip sticks to anything quite well.

I found doing at least 6-7 light coats yields to best results.

 

they both drank the kool aid

 

looks and sound difference only

 

downhill?
