Recently changed my intake. I started with this one I got off of eBay for $60:e3a4ajy3.jpg
Not bad and I did notice a difference. Then I bought a volant from someone and installed it. It just replaced the stock air box and tube so I pick up a spectre 4" flexible hose from advance auto and now I have this:uju4emur.jpg
I was concerned about heat transfer to the flexible tube but after I drove around for a few hours I could grad the tube and its was just Luke warm....the engine temp had been in operation range for a while.

I also had picked up Diablo Predator and tuned the truck. Then I got a SC Flashpaq, tuned with it and liked it better. Did some runs today and this is what my best 0-60 time was:3esyvyru.jpg
I don't think that's bad for a cai and all Superchips selected tranny tunes.

I had been thinking about for a while. Found the OEM decals but didn't like how bright they were. Talked to guy I know that does this kind of stuff and he made some mock ups for me. I liked the one I choose. Its subtle and doesn't stand out too much. I wanted the night runner name on it some how.

The strips are temporary til I get some matte black vinyl. I couldn't decide between matte black or a dark gray/charcoal. Had some plastidip left over after doing the wheels so I decided to see how it looked.
