You can check with AFE or AEM for dry filters , i use a pro m filter that bolts on to my air meter , its a dry filter , i use american racing torqlite wheels , but i have a set of weld drag lite wheels for the rear for drag racing only , there not streetable and i don't think they make them in the 5.5 bolt pattern any more , i like the bed covers...

I am a AFE fan.

As far as a bed cover I had 3 on the truck so far. Started with a BlackMax from Extang. Then went to a hard fiberglass one. And now have a CheckmateFX and LOVE it

Never heard of a CheckmateFX... is it a hard cover? I can go get a fiberglass one for $100 down the street. Still debating on it. IDK yet. Just not painted red, it is white. I am going to get the whole truck sand blasted and all the imperfections out of it and get it repainted at some point this summer. Good paint but has very small imperfections on it that i am picky about, especially at truck shows!

It is a semi hard cover. But LIGHT. I can remove it by myself, unlike the Heavy fiberglass ones.

I agree with Brad on the cover. The Checkmate's are nice, light, and affordable. I've got a OG ******** on mine. It's very nice, but a little pricey.

I think the tubing is too small for that length.
I'd personally get a reducer coupler to go from the tb to 4" and then to a BIG filter.
I think it would look and flow better the. The bent straw you have on there now.
You gotta figure the non lightning has two of those (almost that size) feeding it's engine.

True on the intake. At some point i am going to post pictures of some spare parts. I have no idea what half of it is besides some smog equipment. I think there was alot more done to this truck than i had thought.
