intake?
my civic si that i own has an AEM Cold air intake and when i was researching all i had to worry about was cold air or hot air. Most everyone got the cold air because cold air to the engine increases horsepower. i loved the intake and it was loud. Now since im into truckin im lost. What is the "cream of the crop" for the F150s? --for intake, exhaust, headers, anything you want to add feel free. THanks again .. TRUCKIN

get a K&N Cold Air Kit. also get some duals in the rear, preferably flowmaster.

have an airforce one fipk on my 97 f150--easy install, top quality parts, looks good(chrome plated int. tube), and some(?) performance gains. no, on the flowmaster-you lose low end torque. best mod: the chip(but you have to use 93 octane fuel)--mpg went up, definitely faster, and shifts better.
btw, Johnny Lightning is offering a ram air intake for regularly aspirated 4.6 & 5.4 trucks. ------------------ 2001 Lightning, silver, JL chip(street), air intake, & drive shaft loop, escort 8500, ranger 2950dx dual band radio, wilson 2000 ant., bot/picked up on 05/08/01, 1997 f150 xlt 4.6L 4x2 with: a/f one fipk, superchip, optima battery, bbk 75mm throttle body, edelbrock ias shocks--2001 lightning to come(she came--see above) "nothin' but a bunch a low-life white trash drinkin' too much cheap alcohol" "I don't take s**t from guys who drive Lightnings," the cop said.

The K&N and Airforce aren't really cold air kits. Look at them, they are just sucking underhood air. The stock system is more of a cold air kit than either of those. That is why I kept the stock unit and modified it some. I think the Volant is the only aftermarket unit I've seen that is truly a cold air intake.

The Western Motorsports Velosity tube is also a true cold air intake.

A cheap way is to install new pulleys. A set can be had for about $90 and you gain about 15 horses.
