Ha yeah cold air intake. But for the engine deal I'm not building the one in my truck now. I'm getting another 360 that I'm doing all the work too and only has around 105k.

And yeah cold air intake but I think it is the same thing as the tornado and I'm not buying it ha 20$ I can use for gas hahha

Just be sure to do a comp check on that engine, and plastigage and inspect the bearings too.

The tornado, and any other electric supercharger is a waste of money. As are the chips, throttle body spacers, and the several hundred dollar cold air induction systems. As stated previously, they draw air from the SAME PLACE as the stock system. Tossing a good air filter in there will put you further ahead, and not lighten your wallet nearly so badly.

Basically, you can bet that ANYTHING that boasts "more power", "Better fuel economy", and gives you truly stupid numbers (double digit anything) is just snake oil. It amazes me they can get away with even advertising that crap.

Are you talking about the F1 manifold from hughes built by Edelbrock?

I'd love to do a supercharger! And I've looked everywhere for one and can't find anything.

His 318 is carb so it's likely not the F1 because that's for EFI
