Intake performance

Is there any way to take the Stock intake on my 88' f-150 and get rid of those huge tubes going to the throtte body. I think i've heard of people doing this. I don't really wanna go the cold air intake , but if that will give me the most i will.

I don't think you would notice much of a gain by swapping them out, the factory setup is pretty efficient. Increasing the velocity on these tubes would help low end torque and throttle response but might hinder top end performance.

95 F150, do you have the K&N Intake kit or just the Air Filter? Also, was your truck equipped with MAF factory?

93greenf150, I'm running the K&N airfilter with the bottom of the airbox cut off, works great and the airbox helps work as a heat shield for the filter.

My truck is factory mass air
