I've done a few things to my truck to help it breathe better. I live at 6000 ft elevation, and most of my travels take me higher than that, so it needs all the help it can get!
I built a custom cold air intake that goes from the grille to the factory air duct at the core support. That air duct goes into an insulated cold air box, with a big K&N cone filter.
On the exhaust side, I have Banks headers ($$$) a "free flow cat" (3" straight pipe LOL) and a single 3" exhaust with a Dynomax muffler.
One of the things that really gives me pause about this throttle body kit is the loss of the cold air intake, but maybe the extra airflow makes up for it? IDK

I'll have to see if I can find the video, but I thought there was a video Where the best results with the 460 EFI Guys intake was with a inline ECM deal.
I've looked at them a few times but I can't justify the cost for me.

I don't know everything it does. I bought it so I wouldn't have a check engine light when I ditched my EGR and thermactor system and everything would run as normal.
