Hey everyone, I did some searching and haven't come up with a good answer other than to contact @Wild one or Moe's for information.
Maybe someone here knows:
5.7l 4x4
My exhaust system is ARH long tubes with High Flow CAT's into 3" In/Out Borla Pro XS, into stock tail pipe and resonator (basically just the bend over the rear axle to the tip is stock)
I have ARH headers installed with the Stock Air box.
Idle is great, accelerating is weird now. My RPM's will fluctuate 100 or so during throttle, enough to hear the motor going up and down in RPMs while accelerating. I'm assuming that I'm starving the motor of air with the stock setup.
Either that or my back pressure is off with the 3" Borla? ( I know, I'm a firm believer of backpressure being a myth but I'm now questioning everything again.)
Can anyone confirm this?
If an air intake upgrade is required, what are the benefits of doing CAI vs Veraram?
Is a tune required to alleviate this issue?
and last question, will I need an upgraded throttle body or injectors if I do this?
