Default BBK 52mm Throttle Body

I just installed this on my truck and I could not be happier. This is the only bolt on modification I have done to date where I actually feel the gains... I would highly highly recommend this as a fairly cheap mod for noticeable gains. About $300 on amazon.

I have a K&N CIA, so I'm using their air hat.
Stock will work.

I know the stock will fit, I'm wondering if it makes a difference between the stock and 14x3 that I have. Put the Eddy on about 5 years ago and didn't notice any difference. Been thinking of going back to stock with KN dropin.

Little to no difference on even a mildly modded engine. The stock system actually flows half-way decent.

Stock with a K&N element will be as good as you need.

I have a Volant cai, draws air from the factory spot, you can ado a bumper scoop if you want. At about 9000ft where I live any extra power is welcome. Sometimes the mellow valleys that apear flat are tiring on my little 5.2l, but I'm able to keep a consistant 65mph now on the way home from work where I used to struggle to stay at 60 with a few downshifts. In some areas. Those mellow valleys are actually gradual inclines. 3.92s and headers may be in the future......

14x3s sound wicked though.
