New intake AEM!
O.K well not new so to speak, I got it from a person here who sold it to me at a great price, I didn't really have the spare cash but the deal was just to sweet.
so, I put it on at work, and after some slight tinkering to get things to my liking ( I am very picky about my truck. ) and making a new hold in the filter box and getting the wires where I wanted them and other things, I started it up!
maybe its just in my head but my exhaust sounded slightly different, and popped a little, and the truck idles a little lower than normal, and it also idles down faster, the PCM should be ready to handle it, as I removed the (-neg) cable during the install.
I have not drove it yet, I let it run for a bit and once I get back from lunchI am going to check the clamps again to make sure.
Here is hoping she is not too lean, I am going get a PHP tuner soon.
my and my friend are going to give it a look over before I leave, I like to make sure I didn't miss anything.
Thanks 95sw21!

So, after I went to lunch and then home today here is what I think about it.
It has a slight *very* slight drone that unless I am listing for I can't really hear from 2,100-2,500 if you are not hammering on it.
its very noisy if you are laying into the long pedal, and once you break 4,000 RPM is scary loud ( to me ) add in the fact that even taking my truck past 2,500 Rpm worrys me cause I don't want to be hard on it.
past 3,000 it drowns the exhaust sounds out, undr 2,500 the exhaust is easyer to hear.
Power gain is, well for a truck its fast but TBH I can't tell that I gained much power at all, the throttle seems a little more snappy and the truck seems to pick up a little faster, idles is still smooth but lower than it was.
I still think its in my head but i swear my ehaust note changed a little.
Once I get a PHP gyrphon I am sure it will really bring the tuck to life.
