CAI complications
Hi,
If all I wanted was a CAI, what possible 'screw ups' could it cause to my truck?
All I want is a little more pep when I step on the gas... Would a CAI do it? Does brand matter?
Thanks guys...

Yes intakes DO make power on these trucks. I would recommend the Volant intake, or the JLT if youre willing to use an SCT tune.
A tuner will give you much more power, and better drivability, I would do a tuner first but certainly look into the intake as well. We also sell packages with tuners, intakes, and cat back exhaust systems

Don't expect much more then some intake noise from a CAI. You really won't notice much more power....lets say ~10hp....so your 300hp engine will MAYBE put out 310hp. You'll have to really beat on your truck to be able to say...I "think" it has more power?
I would recommend a programmer if you want more power (Edge, Hypertech, SCT, etc). Then maybe the CAI would help you out more....Don't forget about the exhaust =)
