I did the 6637 mod recently and love it but think i may need to make a heat sheild to go around it as it get warm/hot to touch after running the truck. Has anyone done this?

 

If you do one look at my pics of my AFE and you can make one similiar to this.

 

What is the HPX and what does it do ?

 

It is a high pressure oil crossover line that insures HP oil is the same on both heads. I just got a little throttle response. I am just doing stuff like that getting ready for the big mods, ie: injectors. That is where it helps most.

 

I made one out of metal laying around the house (click here). I sprayed it with some heat and noise bedliner type stuff that was like $8 for the can. Sure its not as nice as the afe but that system costs over 300 bones

 

Thanks Neal ! I would like to do anything that will make my truck stronger and run even better.

 

IMHO you dont need it, I have read that the differences in temperature inside of the shield and in the motor compartment is not significative, and you also restrict a bit the air flow. just my .02 cents.

Nice and clean. Looks professional. They say imitation is the best form of compliment. I am going to copy your design.

Thanks guys just did it cuz no one else has.

 

Reps taken care of. I want to find a small scoop for the hood to supply clean air for my AFE.

 

Neal I have been brain storming just that! Haven't figured out a good way that will look right yet.
