Air intake question
I posted this in the Engine forum also. Probably shoulda' been here:
I've been reading about various air intake systems on the web. I have an '04 F150 5.4l (new style). Rather than investing in an intake system, why not just remove the breather tube that connects the air box to the fender well where the intake hole is? Sure, you will have clean your air filter more often but that's cheap and it may not be as efficient as the aftermarket items but doing this is free (except for buying the truck of course!). I experimented with this and experienced significant increases in engine response and power as more air was allowed into the engine. Don't know about mileage yet. Have other members here done this? Any inputs-thoughts?
