Spectre makes the cai that doesn't cost as much. They all do the same thing. The only difference i noticed was that under WOT, it had more pep. A tune is the best bang for your buck for the dollar to seat of the pants improvement ratio.

I put a 14x3 on my truck. You do get a little bit better throttle response until your engine bay gets nice and toasty. Then it goes away. At least mine did. So i put the stock intake back on and works nicer all around.

^Good, cause I plan on getting one of those TBs.

But now I hear another ticking noise so I assume my header gasket blew again. Plus my tranny is starting to slip about once every so many months or something for some reason.

I don't haul anything but a fourwheeler too.

Apparently you can mod your own tb. This knowledge is kept on the downlow. The tb is a 50mm from the factory. It bottlenecks and has those wings on each side which are milled off. That's the only difference.
