do a search. they are useless on these engines, you will actually lose power from it.

-2hp Don't bother. Go ahead with the CAI and instead of spending the $100 on the spacer go out and get a flowmaster (or whatever brand you prefer) muffler. Do a search on performance and you will get tons of info.

Yes i agree that the fuel is added after the spacer but all i know is without it i get 14.9 mpg and with it i get 16.8. Dont ask me how but it improved for me.

Hand calculated 6 different times. You know some of you guys kill me, you have no idea about my experience as a mechanic and such and treat some people like total freaking idiots. I have been an ase certified master truck mechanic for over 20 years so please dont treat everyone like a total noob about this stuff ok?
