A K&N intake system or an AEM intake.

My buddy just put an AEM one on his s-10 and it added about 25-30 more horses then a K&N, but i was just wondering if that was becuz its a smaller truck, i own a 2000 v-6 f-150 my truck is a full size.

He bought his intake system for close to 300 bucks, and im looking to spend somewhere close to that if someone could point me in the right direction and give ne info on this it would be appricated thanks

Shane,

There is absolutely no way an aftermarket intake will add 25-30 hp, especially on a small pickup.

He's lying to you.

 

didnt mean to say that, he said it added like 10 more sorry bout that lol

but ya ne one know which is better for a v-6 f-150?

I'd question even that much hp gain.

A good CAI on a forced induction engine, like something on a 97+ GTP with the eaton m90, will gain you 7-10 hp tops.

You can expect lower gains on something that is not sucking the air in at such a velocity like a super/turbo charged engine would.

 

They are all about the same on our trucks really I would say.

I think the most popular seems to be the AirForceOne intake though.

 

Ok which one is the most price worthy then?

 

CY,

What slag is trying to say that unless your budy put his truck on a dyno there is no way to tell what gains he got. The literature on all FIPK's say they give huge HP gains BUT if you read the fine print they ALL say that the gains they are stating are on one certain vehicle/engine combo that they tested therefore by law they can say that you "Might" get the same gains but prolly not.

On these boards it seems that the K&N FIPK is the best and real world dyno tests (Do a search here) seem to prove that fact.

 

Ya i relize that hcmq, but it still improves your gas mileage doesnt it?

My bro had the full cool air intake on his silverado and said it saved him some gas milage ne way thanks for the input ill check back

Am i dumb by asking what FIPK is? sorry i dont know muc h when talkign abotu this thats why i am here

 

FIPK=fuel injector performance kit.

Yes your gas mileage will improve a teeny bit. There are way too many variables to MPG to make it so easy just to say that if you install a FIPK your mileage will go up.

Case in point: you get a K&N FIPK AND add big a$$ 35 inch rims and tires, your mileage will go way down!

BUT everyone on here that has installed a FIPK (Including me) has noted how much better the trucks run and feel in terms of throttle response! So have at it!

 

Do you have aim or msn i would like to talk more about it, if you wouldnt care?

 

I do not use any IM products due to the ease of virus access. How ever feel free to email me (In my profile)

Later-

 

I have a K&N FIPK II and love it. I think Sport Truck recently did a shootout between 5 intakes and K&N had the best gains (I think the test vehicle had headers and a cat-back mod).

As a side note, FIPK actually stands for Filtercharger Injection Performance Kit (it has nothing to do with fuel injectors)
