im new on here, and loving the site already!! i see alot of people have the k&n cai, is this product well worth the money? im thinking about getting one for my truck but not sure. so if you dont mind i'd like to hear from some of you that have this product on your truck; price, performance, mpg difference,etc???? thanks in advance for you input

 

Before spending any money
read what the volunteers found
testing many different aftermarket air intakes
on 5.7V8 Hemi's in Chrysler LX's:

Keep in mind that the factory airbox on a Ram is even
bigger and less restrictive than the factory box on a LX.

To save everyone some math
the three runs of the stock factory airbox and paper filter
dyno'ed (corrected to standard pressure and temperature)

280 HP with a standard deviation of 3.75

The only cold air intake testing better
was theKN Air Chargerat
281 HP with a standard deviation of 4.15

Since the average of all 21 dyno runs with a PCM reset was
277 with a standard deviation of 4.75
you really can't say with certainty that the
extra 1 HP for the KN Air Charger was 'real'
because even a well built wheel dyno
that is well maintained
and has a great operator
can't repeat that close.

1 HP out of 280
is way below 1% difference
and this dyno seems to be varying about 3%
which is actually very admirable.

277 HP with a standard deviation of 4.75
in simple terms means
that if you ran
exactly the same engine exactly the same way
100 times
98 of the runs would 'scatter' between
a high of 286.5 and
a low of 267.5
(which is 277 plus and minus two times 4.75)

 

thanks for the input, after reading that i think the k&n air filter drop in would be the way to go.
