Would you guys recommend putting an intake on my truck - i mean its got the stock air filter setup. But an upgrade like this doesnt seem like it would be that beneficial, idk, if it would be 10% i would be interested but any less doesnt seem worth it. Any advice, btw, im running a 91 f350 7.3 L

the more cold air the better and any increase in power or fuel economy is worth it in my book!

country boy,you beat me to the banks install! how she going for ya now? give ya little bit more pep in her step?

iv never been a big fan of the 6637 type setups.sure it's more air,but it's just low pressure, under hood, warm air.
getting cooler,pressurized,outside dense air is the ticket.

She runs like awsome, it really is like driving a diffrent truck. im still playin with the fuel tryin to get the best power to milage ratio. i think ive got it close. on a good hard pull ill make about 10-11 pounds. a little black smoke at the start then it cleans right up. but ive got a junk filter stuck on it for now, till i get my intake built.

I am doing a 6637 with my setup pretty soon, I'll post pics when I'm done. I have to relocate the CDR so oil doesn't pool up in my IC.

im in the same boat as you, my truck is my work truck so i cant have id down for too long. i got everything laid out, made sure i had everything i needed and did it in a day, took me about 11 hours or so start to finish.
