hmm. those look nice. Ive been thinking about doing that to my stock v8 TB but I'm more worried about screwing it up. does anyone have any info about how you would go about modding the TB that way?

oh I sure did!! It is very noticeable and I wish I did it sooner! Only thing is that it is high end power, like 3k and over. I just wish I could do something that would give me low end
But it still costs so little and gives so much lol it was about $60 total for me, found a sweet deal on ebay way bigger difference than a K&N!

but yea, low end is nicer, especially on my oversize tires.

best low end engine mod you can do is harland sharp 1.7 roller rockers. Best low end mod period= 4:10 gears or higher.
