Intake Question

[hemihunter]

Alright I just bought the manifold off a 6.1, and figured its pointless to get more airflow off that, and keep the stock intake. So I started looking for a cai, and had a biggg question. What the heck are all you guys doing with your spark plug wires after they arent hidden underneath the hemi hat? Any input would be great, pictures would be even better!

Depends on whether you keep the spaghetti or go with shorty's (or do the 06+ conversion).

You will have to use shorty's or upgrade to the 06+ coils. You'll need to get the relocation bracket to move the alt and Ac comp. It's a lot of work but looks really cool. Good luck

Did 6.1/06+ coil conversion and used the optional 6.1 coil covers to hide them. Came out good imo.

 

[hemihunter]

good place to get those?

Buying new then you can try 3rd Strike Performance who is a vendor here.

Glad to see you aren't going to waste your time putting on the 6.1 manifold without some form of head work/head upgrade.

345cc hemi? Lol,that's a tiny engine for a big truck,man.

shroud-less e-fan will help provide space up front to help CAI or turbo piping fitment due to the front TB location of the 6.1 manifold.

Could get all of the parts and do the install all at once. That being said after you wrench on them once or twice you will be alot quicker at doing the install.
