Re: I need direction to the right intake system

I think most here will tell you Tymar. I would still like to see some sort of cold air intake. Or course I would not pay for one, just copy a good design for my own truck. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]

Re: I need direction to the right intake system

I did a set of dyno runs using an early aFe filter air box system (not the ProGard-7). I then did another full set of dyno runs using the Tymar. The truck was throughly warmed up for both sets of runs on the same day. The Tymar made 5-10 more hp than the aFe. I think unless you get some fresh air to the aFe, it doesn't work as good, the slot under the hood is just not big enough. Use of the "shop vac hose mod" would probably help here. Actually, help both. AFe $235 at the time off of e-bay, Tymar $115, your choice.

Re: I need direction to the right intake system

I got the Tymar from Dale about 6 weeks ago. It is the way to go. Order it with a spare filter and you are good to go. Installation about 15 minutes.
