Cold Air Intake?

Hi All

Just curious if anyone has put a cold air intake on the 3.0L Vulcan engine and if it made any difference? - I know it won't be a race car/van - but would love some easy free power for hills, etc.

Thanks

Save your money for something that will actually yield some benefit. The only thing you get with that is a louder engine.

I agree with Car Guy ^^^^^^^ , a CAI wouldn't help much if at all.

Make sure the maintenance is up to date and you'll be getting the most out of it . . . unless you want to make it a project car for a while and go crazy on it, then you could get horsepower only limited by your wallet.

if you don't get on the interstates often you could have a lower rear end gear installed.
