Re: Under the hood

Nice addition... Got any pics of the louvered hood? I would love to see that.. but on another note.. that intake pipe looks closed off a bit to much at the filter box.. Might I suggest finding a pipe or having on made out of metal pipe that would allow the air to flow smoothly. Im sure you would notice a little improvement in performance...

I think it's the picture looks darker right there. I'll post some better ones. I took these with the garage door shut due to the sleet,snow, & rain storm we were having at the time. I had to wait to open the door to get better pictures.
It does narrow down some but with the cold air lid like it is I can't do much about it. I need to try and find one that comes straight out the side are have someone make me one.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Those louvers would go nice with my louvered sun shade. I worked at a performance shop that did dyno tuning on some real fast cars and that intake pipe is very important. Even the mass air flow position meant power loss if it was at the wrong angle.. those computer engines are picky. Smooth air air in with minimal bends and restrictions can make a big difference. But you have done a very nice job in that truck. That piping is the only issue I seen that may hurt you a little bit.

Oh man sorry here are some better pictures. The guy that did them here locally told me when I got it back not to ever worry about seeing anyone else with that design. He said he would never do another one! In 20 some years I have yet to see another!

Re: Under the hood

Find the guy that makes the fiberglass cowl with louvers! That would go go with the viser I think.
