Oh yeah, I have been looking up the Torque tube specs and I was wrong the tube is only 4.0 inches in diameter for the Powerstroke. The web site states:
Benefits:
4 HP Gain
16 Ft-lbs of Torque
Improves Airflow
Improves Throttle Response
Improves Acceleration
For $78 + shipping. Now, in a perfect world and that tube does what it states, then that tube makes up for any horsepower lost by us with open intakes sucking in warm engine air. Bear with me, from what I have heard/read, for every 10-15 degree increase in intake air you loose about 2-3 horsepower. It even would benefit the AIS users even more. Just thinking out loud. Still comes down to, is it worth the money?

IF YOU ARE GOING TO GUNTERSVILLE LAKE COUNT ME IN. I know you guys don't know me from a hole in a wall but I went camping out there with a friend from Huntsville. Wow, what a beautiful place, beautiful lake, great fishing, great food, great people. But you already know that.....
P.S. get a van turbo, you won't regret it

Ft. Sill OK eh, what do you do there? Man we have stolen this thread. Sorry.
Edit: Who am I to decide who can be invited??? I guess I just meant at present there is nothing. I would like to see something, but it's up to us here. I think we could have a good time.

rampage, the torque tube replaces the large intake tube, not the neck down turbo inlet. so, guess i will keep my tymar set up as is, and marvinlong, does your exhaust tube intake work good, do you monitor your egts. I would wonder if the metal gets hot, heating the intake air?????????????????????????? thus increasing your egt.
