you fail sir, he said he tried to search...the search wasnt working

 

This site is ridiculous sometimes, I can't even ask a simple question without getting **** on.

 

Don't worry I'm not going to flame ya for asking.........
The failure that gets some of you guys in trouble is you don't explain yourself well enough.
Like.......
What year truck are you putting it on and is the truck fuel injected?

There's a lot more one should provide when asking about something.
Because.......
All of our crystal ***** are broken.

 

1990 f150, inline six, fuel injected.
Not that it matters now I suppose.

 

If your motor had a carb on it it would matter but since its fuel injected it just won't help out.

 

So besides making a $1 why do they even waste time and money on making them if they don't do anything???

I have one I got for like $5 but I haven't put it on cause I'm lazy. LOL!

 

Because there's one born every minute...

 

Google: "There's one born every minute". Covers it succinctly.

A ~4000% profit margin is nothing to sneeze at ....

EDIT - dang dat bastige shotgunz .... Grrrrrr, lol

 

So I take it no one trust that they say it will help with torque at 800-2500RPM range?

 

NOT on a port-injected engine - the plenum & runners are already optimally designed/sized for torque (or should be, lol)

Possibly for a throttle-body injected or carb'd engine, when plenum volume can sometimes be optimized to help - but here again, the gains claimed are usually inflated.

So should I not even waste my time putting mine on? Like I said it was only $5 from a friend who sold his truck and took all his stuff off...

What's your thought on Air Charger kits? The one on my truck seems to help but some people say they don't... K&N says on my truck I should see almost 16 more horsepower.

 

You can put it on - the worst-case will be an unacceptable or perhpas only mildly annoying 'whistle'. No detriment, so have at it. Will give you an excuse to clean yer throttle body

On K&N's - again, inflated claims. Least trustworthy is the manufacturer's assertions. Seek out independent, expert info - call the custom tuners on here - they have actually tested these (as has Diablo and Superchips, btw).

If you want to save money, preserve yer IAT's and help a bit, just do the Gotts Mod. Or just leave it on there and ensure you never over-oil it. Clean yer MAF regularly as well. Do not fixate on it too much - but be aware that you may incur lean conditions with that intake... if you have a 5.4 3V ...

Don't believe everything you read!
Your lucky if your K&N is giving you 3HP.

DAMN! Maybe I should learn to read!?

 

it happens my friend!
