First mod

Getting ready to do my first mod, what do you guy’s think, A JL cold air intake box or a factory Tech V/B? I’m thinking JL cold air intake box.

I say the Ram air. You'll notice a big difference in how far boost comes up.

Definitely go for the filter.

#1, you'll find that you create a tad more boost than stock.

#2, you'll notice quite more of a whine from your engine compartment

#3, remove the stock airbox and relocate your plaque somewhere else so it looks cool...

Thumbs up

if your tranny shifts like mine did factory i would do the shift kit, that is what i did and i could really tell a difference. next i did the cold air kit and it also helped.
