whats next ?

[sctpowersmoker]

ok whtas up guys ? i wanna know whats the next bigest power adder that you guys think my truck is ready for ? i have 4in. turbo back magnaflow exhaust and a custom tuned sct from doug . so whats next every body tell me the stock air filter is better than aftermarket is that true ?:eek:

[mooring product]

I would say it better .You can clean it also. I believe the stock filter is $80.00 to buy a new one. It makes it sound better also. Doug has about 30 Air Aid in his warehouse.

[sctpowersmoker]

so you think the stock makes it sound better ?

[heinzboy]

It makes the intake "whistle" sound louder.

[mattsn]

i say aftermarket. not for power but its a one time buy. just keep it clean and put it back in .

Once the turbo spools power was about the same across the dyno graph. However the turbo would spool a hell of a lot quicker with the airaid vs the stock filter. There was like a 153 ftlb difference at 2000rpm. Don't read that as an increase in torque, but as more torque available down low.

[sctpowersmoker]

yea lol me and my dad where thinken about taken the front part of the stock to see how it performed and soundes

[sctpowersmoker]

is that ok ?

[_CH_]

yea lol me and my dad where thinken about taken the front part of the stock to see how it performed and soundes

just the part from the front of the filter to the header (with the black tube coming off it)?

if so then ya its fine.... still, may as well get an aftermarket one. by the time you clean it once its almost paid for itself (and its not stock)

[sctpowersmoker]

think ill get any performance out of it /

so would i get about the same or close by just removing the front of the intake ? seems like it would be like the same thing !:rolleyes:

[Abrannan19]

dude..it take all of 1 minute to remove the snout..go take it off..and drive it around..see if it feels different..its that simple.

[PSDPlayer]

How would removing the front of the stock filter change the filter?

i nvr said it would change the filter i said it would bacically be the same thing as an after market intake !:upyours:

[PSDPlayer]

Its not the same thing.

[sctpowersmoker]

Its not the same thing.

well its basically openning the filter then feeding it straight back to the turbo :D then its just about the same thing as after market products!

[Abrannan19]

why do you ask a question if you 'think' you know the answer already

[sctpowersmoker]

because im 15 yrs/ old and its not my truck its my dads and i dont wanta do somthing do it thats going to cause problems and cause it to suck shit up in the turbo


happy thers ya answer buddy

you are TELLING a fucking diesel GURU what will happen.


Get an Airraid filter and be done with it.

im telling you what i was gonna do and i hear airraid isnt worth the money
so i think ill save this money for some pane:upyours: or nos

[PSDPlayer]

Adam when you get down here I have a stock filter and an airaid. We will swap them in and out of your truck on the dyno and we can see if its cheaper to keep buying stock filters or to keep cleaning the airaid. Then we can roll down the highway and take some live fuel economy tests with each filter.

[sctpowersmoker]

all rite psdplayer ditching me like this !?!?!?! <<<<<<<<-pretty gay but jim and eric tell me that the stock is just as good but if it helps in mpg thats a whole diffrent story if i can gett better fuel econmy then im defenlyt interrested

um, huh? i hate to tell ya, but i have NO clue what you said ^^ there.


just get the aftermarket intake; i dont understand why youre asking this question that you seem to think you know the answer to .... yet when everyone tells you something contradictory to your preconceived idea you balk at the notion that the people whos input youve asked for might be correct or know what theryre talking about?

yes taking the front off will open it up a bit but youre still pulling air from the same surface area so it has almost the same restriction, however once you get to speed theres almost 0 diff with the front on or off.
If you want to listen to ‘jim and eric’ then do it – keep the stock intake.
Tell your dad to run pane… a LOT of it and a huge shot. With no studs. And a stock file. Lets see what fucks it up worse, a stock engine on pane and NOS or an aftermarket intake. Any bets?

[banksforddiesel99]

^^^ Priceless! Do It Kiddo!

[mattsn]

Great way to get a point across Brad.

Does your dad just allow you to do whatever mods you want on "HIS" truck?

[sctpowersmoker]

depends on what it is ! why ?

[banksforddiesel99]

put a ton of propane on it then, you will gain about 150 horsepower........................................ ..for about 10 seconds when she blows up. LOL

[sctpowersmoker]

haha yea funny lmfao

im not that stupid you can do it then let me no how it works !

[maxx355]

Dude, you should listen to these guys they are pros and have the experience to let you know what works and what doesnt. Like you said you are only 15.These guys have years of experience.
